God is working in each of our lives to help us see our need for Him and understand the work Jesus did for us on the cross. Through the Parable of the Soils, Jesus tells us about four different responses people have to his message. Three of the responses lead to the hearers turning their backs to God while only one leads to a life lived for God to the fullest. Jesus points out that our response is completely up to us; it all comes down to our attitude and whether we are willing to listen to God or not.
