Jesus’ parable of the soils illustrates the fact that when God’s Word is proclaimed, people’s responses can be quite diverse. Some respond with intellectual curiosity but find no need for a Savior in their own lives. Others receive the Word with great emotion and delight, but soon the pressures of life extinguish their initial zeal. Alistair Begg shows us that when we humbly trust in the Word of Truth, God’s enabling grace will produce a true and lasting faith.
