Parable of the Sower

The parable of the Sower

This is the topic where you should discern what kind of hearer of God's words you are:

God should be the one to judge you and not your heart - 1 John 3:20

Kind person to people but not to God - 1 Corinthians 1:19

Being proud that you are a good person - 1 Corinthians 10:12

A boastful person is the one who rates himself - Luke 18:10-14

FOUR KINDS OF HEARTS OF MEN:

Parable of the sower - Matthew 13:1

The seed is the word of God - Luke 8:11

The field is the world - Matthew 13:38

Receive the word of God with meekness - James 1:21

Luke 8:12 continue:

Seeds that fall into:

1) Roadside - Those who hear God's words but did not believe

2) On the rock - Those who hear and accept it with gladness but when the temptation comes, they fall away

3) On the thorns - Those who hear the word of God but choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

4) Good soil - Which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

CURE FOR STONY HEART - Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you:

Those who are now in Christ is a new creature - 2 Corinthians 5:17
