The Good Seed and The Good Soil
Messiah tells us the parable of the sower through the seed in the ground. The question was where was the power, in the seed or in the ground? The good ground bore life. The bad ground didn't. The good ground was simply the ground that received the seed. So, the key to abundant life in God is not about trying to produce good works, or holiness in God. The soil can't produce anything without the seed. It's the seed that produces the fruit. The seed is the Word of God. The Word of God produces fruit in your life. Take the Word of God into the soil of your life, and it will do its thing. Your part is to just receive it; let it come in and do its thing. Become good soil for the seed. The soil that becomes good at receiving will blossom with life, a thousand-fold. Receive the seed; it will change your life.
