Hear,take heed what you hear!!

This one word is one of the simplest truth's, but yet vital truth's to mankind.
In the parable of the sower Jesus teaches mankind that this is how the kingdom of God operates and if you do not know and understand this parable, you will not understand any of the parables.
He says he that hath an ear to hear let him hear: we know there is more to this statement than having physical ears, it does not a choice to made by the hearer, in hearing it will require the hearer to believe what he hears, and ultimately act accordingly to what he has heard.
Mr 4:23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Mt 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Lu 8:8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
The parable of the sower is recorded in three of the four gospels, Mt. 13:18, Mr. 4:9, Lk. 8:4
These truths are for the sinner and the saint if you will study the parable of the sower, you will see there where types of hearers, but of the four there was only hearer that produced good fruit.
The responsibility of all aspects of the teaching is on the hearer, if you will study this parable you will this is how an individual is saved.
Hearing as with the intent to obey quickly
Believing with the heart (not the mind)
Acting in accordance to what you have heard and believed.
This is exactly the fruitful hearer does, some say that faith is a gift, and that is not true.
Faith cometh by hearing and hearing the word of God, faith is inherent in every word of scripture, so when you hear the word of God on a subject faith for that truth cometh to the hearer, the hearer then chooses to believe, or not believe.
Heb 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
So as you meditate upon these truths you will realize that bible faith as mentioned in Romans 10:17 and the just shall live by faith is an action
Faith is an action:
Since the spirituals law are still the same, Jesus cautioned man to heed what he heard, for if you accept a corrupted seed, the principle does not change you will reap a corrupt harvest.
It is doers of the word that will walk in the light as he is in the light, if you choose to ignore the light, the word you will walk into darkness.
The God kind of faith does not come from the word of man!!!!
Warning!! Warning!! Warning!!
