The Good Heart Parable of the Heart Soils The good heart has attributes the others lack. First, the Good Heart understands the message of the kingdom - that it requires surrender to the King of the Kingdom and that for now all who belong to the Kingdom of God will suffer persecution, temptation and hatred. God offers the Good Heart this understanding becuase BEFORE the message of the kingdom was planted there. The reason for this is becuase this heart already worshiped God to the degree that it understood how (consider Cornelius and Lydia). The next attribute of this heart is that even though it knew the cost of entering the kingdom it welcomed the message, clung to the king of the kingdom and through patient endurance it produced the fruit of conformity to Jesus' likeness over time. Such is a brief summary of the message. For more please listen to the message and read the corresponding article (post) by visiting the website at Grace-live.org. Blessings!
