Mr 4:26 And He said, "The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground,
27 "and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how.
Let's apply this to saving faith. This is a good illustration saving faith.
We read here of a man casting seed upon the soil. He goes to bed at night and
gets up by day and the seed grows without his help. You know, saving faith is
like that.
It was an act of faith on the part of the man to cast his seed upon the soil
not knowing exactly the how of the process of growth of the seed. All he had
was the confidence that the soil could make it grow. You see, saving faith is casting ourselves upon the Savior.
Our condition is bad, because, unlike the seed in this parable, we have no life
in ourselves. We are spiritually dead. We can’t save ourselves. We can’t
transform ourselves.
But when we cast ourselves upon the ground of the Savior and what He did on the
cross, leaving our flourishing entirely to Him, behold, like the man who went
to sleep and did nothing to make the seed grow, all he did was cast the seed;
we become alive and are transformed by the Savior.
My friend, if you are still unsaved right now, come now to the Savior, cast
yourself upon Him for salvation.
