Our heart reflects our spiritual state and relationship with God. Jesus describes four types of soil that represent the condition of our hearts. The condition of our heart determines how we receive and respond to God’s Word. Our heart can be hardened by sin, pride, or hurt. It can be shallow because there is no real commitment. It can be divided by worldly distractions. Or it can be receptive, responding in obedience to God’s truth. It’s important that we maintain a good heart condition. We need to guard what we allow into our hearts.
