What's the crop in Luke 8:15? (NIV)

[GamingPerson]

Good evening, I'm Den. And I have a problem with clear understanding what the crop is.

But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.

The fruit these born again children of God bear. Would be actions that are in service to the faith and God/Jesus/Holy Spirit.

You may see a person and tell them how to receive God's free gift of Eternal Life by belief in Jesus. That would be bearing fruit.

Symbolism is being used in the parable. Several places in His Word ... he likens the saved and lost using "agricultural" terms in this case the symbolism particular to the verse quoted referring to that of the crop is the saved.

seeds, harvest, gathered into a barn etc. Also used sometimes in regard to the lost ... bad seed, seed that didn't grown etc. Wheat and tares (wheat a good crop .... tares are weeds}

New Living Translation
And the seeds that fell on the good soil represent honest, good-hearted people who hear God’s word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest.

When the Lord returns He will harvest the crop (separating the wheat from the tares) ... the first crop will be those who sowed good seed and produces a good crop (the saved - wheat) .... the second crop are those who are weeds (the lost) and will be burned (destroyed)

Matthew 13:24-30. Gives more info about it.

The synoptic gospels should be studied together .. brings together a more clear picture.

So the seeds that fell on the rocky soil bore fruit?

“Other seed fell on rocky soil, and as soon as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭8‬:‭6‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

“Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no firm root; they believe for a while, and in time of temptation fall away.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭8‬:‭13‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

The term “bear fruit” mean they will do good works.

The fruit are good works for the glory of God and HIS kingdom. When we are regenerated by the Holy Spirit we are given the fruit of the Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, gentleness, faith, patience and self-control. As we live out our faith, the fruit with which we've been supernaturally endowed will manifest in deed and in speech and in truth. That manifestation may come via one of the gifts each of have been given by virtue of our regeneration and by God's sovereign omniscience of our personal level of ability. See Romans 12:6; 1 Corinthians 12:7-10, 28; 1 Corinthians 13 andc14; and, Ephesians 4:11.

May God bless you and keep you and shine HIS face upon you. In the mighty holy holy holy and precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen amen.
