Bible Question: Parable, who in Matt 13:3-23 is saved? Searcher |
Bible Answer: As I understand Jesus' explanation, the Word of God is the seed, we are the soil and the Kingdom of God (salvation) is the bountiful crops. Clearly, the first three examples of poor soil don't yield anything. Only the good soil produced crops, so those who are good soil, fertile for God's Word and fruitful, are saved. This proportion is reflected 7:13 "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. |
