SOIL

In Jesus’ parable, “good soil” represents a heart that hears God’s word, understands it, holds onto it, and produces fruit through perseverance. The main teaching is that spiritual growth depends not just on hearing the message, but on receiving it in a way that lets it take root and bear results. What “good soil” means Matthew says the seed on good soil is the person who hears and understands the word and then produces a harvest. Luke adds that this person has a “noble and good heart,” retains the word, and perseveres in producing a crop. What the Bible teaches WWW.SAINTSUNITED.ORG
