James writes to encourage each one to examine the activity of his faith to determine that it is genuine and active. Each one needs to examine himself to determine if his or her faith is genuine and active. Your faith is genuine, but only active and meaningful in your life and others' lives as you live out your faith. Recognize that God's favor to bestow forgiveness of sins and salvation comes only through believing in Jesus Christ.

I. The Growth of the Christian Plant to Mature Ripeness in 7 Stages: The Blade becomes a head of grain by practicing righteousness and loving the brethren. The Full Head of Grain shows increasing ripeness which is Christian maturity. Progress to Maturity will Ultimately Depend Upon What You Sow To. Maturity in Regard to Bearing One Another's Burdens. Maturity in Becoming Like Christ in our Thoughts and Behavior by Learning to Bear Reproach. Maturity in learning to give and receive Reproof. Today we will look at: 7. Maturity in Perseverance and Steadfastness.

Study of the Canons of Dort. 3rd and 4th main heads of doctrine. 1618-1619. Articles 15 God does not owe this grace to anyone. For what could God owe to those who have nothing to give that can be paid back? Indeed, what could God owe to those who have nothing of their own to give but sin and falsehood? Therefore those who receive this grace owe and give eternal thanks to God alone; those who do not receive it either do not care at all about these spiritual things and are satisfied with themselves in their condition, or else in self-assurance foolishly boast about having something which they lack. Furthermore, following the example of the apostles, we are to think and to speak in the most favorable way about those who outwardly profess their faith and better their lives, for the inner chambers of the heart are unknown to us. But for others who have not yet been called, we are to pray to the God who calls things that do not exist as though they did. In no way, however, are we to pride ourselves as better than they, as though we had distinguished ourselves from them.

So, in thinking about Christ as the "man" who scattered seed, we can also say that this increase in wisdom, His learning obedience by the things that He suffered, and His having all the limitations of knowledge which this implied, all of this ended in regard to His humanity when the Man Christ Jesus fully accomplished redemption for us. His falling into the earth and dying, and His then afterwards being raised from the dead, and ascending to the right hand of the Father completed His earthly ministry. This, His being glorified as a Man led to the formation of the New Testament Church which is the "earth" of our Parable.

This parable in the gospel of Mark seems to have been spoken by our Lord at the same time that he spoke the parables of the Sower, the Wheat and the Tares, and the Mustard Seed and the Leaven Parables, which are recorded in Matthew 13. Although this Parable was left out by Matthew, it is placed in Mark immediately before the Parable of the Mustard Seed. It gives us some further additional truths that our Lord would have us to understand about the growth of the seed; that is, the gradual growth in grace of a true Christian in relation to the word being preached to them. And, once again, it also has reference to the growth of Christ's kingdom world wide during this present Church Age.

My father owns the cattle on a thousand hills, says the Psalm. How wonderful it is to know my father owns it all, I don't own anything. It is not my car, house, job, money, family, not even myself! We are not called to heatless worship and routinely giving away what isn't ours. But to to be thankful, repay my vows, and to acknowledge my dependence on him. God wants the only thing he has given us control over, ourselves! Obedience is what he desires and deserves.

Luke 14:25 Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them, 26 "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. 27 And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it— 29 lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish'? 31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace. 33 So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.

Psalm 110 - Who Is Jesus Christ? What Does He Have To Do With Me? The Kingly reign of Christ, v1-3 The Priestly Redemption of Christ, v4 The Compassionate Judgment of Christ, v5-7 Application

He who received seed by the wayside is the person who hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it. (vs. 19) By the words – "he who received seed by the wayside", what does it mean? It means that this person was present to hear the word of the kingdom preached to him, but when he heard it he didn't understand it. It lies there in his heart and mind and he does nothing about it. He is careless with it. He does nothing about the truth that he has heard. In this regard, receiving seed by the wayside is the same as being on the broad road to destruction.
