Luke 8:15 But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.
What makes a noble and good heart as described in this verse? The symbolism of the good and fertile soil as opposed to the thin soil with rocks goes a long way to describe how we should be ready to receive God’s Word.
If we open our hearts, keep them humble and willing to accept the Word of God as the truth, we will be able to grow with confidence.
This does not mean we just accept anything that comes our way; it means we accept the good seed, God’s Word, and nurture it so it will grow strong in our lives.
