The Seed Which Fell on Good Ground

John 1:1 (all KJV) In the beginning was the Word, & the Word was with God, & the Word was God. Hebr 4:12 For the word of God is quick, & powerful, & sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul & spirit, & of the joints & marrow, & is a discerner of the thoughts & intents of the heart. Luke 8:11-15 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, & taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe & be saved. They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; & these have no root, which for a while believe, & in time of temptation fall away & that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, & are choked with cares, riches & pleasures of this life, & bring no fruit to perfection. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest & good heart, having heard the word, keep it, & bring forth fruit with patience. The Word needs an honest & good heart to bring forth fruit! This new heart is a gift from God. Love Mel
