What does the sower sow in this story? Good deeds, prayer, going to church every week? No, the sower only sows the word. The word is the most important thing. Words are important to God. It is how he created the world, and it is how he calls us out of darkness into Christ. We are saved by grace through faith, but how does that faith come to be? Romans 10:17 gives the answer, “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.” By staying in his word each day, we can learn how to live lives pleasing to God.
