SHALLOWNESS




Saving faith in Christ is so much more than giving mental agreement to a belief. Giving mental agreement is much the same as "good intentions" or planting seeds on rocky soil. When that kind of faith is tested it fades and withers away. If the seed of salvation was planted in us on rocky soil, it will wash away in a very short time. That does not mean we were saved for a little while, then lost it. It means we were never really saved at all. We must be ready with good soil and open hearts, to receive from God.

Heavenly Father, we pray for spiritual soil that is ready to accept the seed You sow; that we might be fruitful children of God. We pray for those we encounter, that the rocks be removed so they can accept the seeds of true salvation. In Jesus' name.

Read Luke 8:13

"Those on the rock are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away." (NIV)

"They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away." (KJV)
