Encouragement for those who Read the Soils Series

Ephesians 2:8-9
If you read any of my post from the last week you may have come away a little anxious. For some that may be a good thing. But, on the whole, we need to remember the principle of grace. Nobody has ever deserved God's grace. Nobody has been smart or wise enough; nobody has been good enough. Remember this: It is not how many good works you do that makes you pleasing to God. It has more to do with your heart attitude than anything else. If you boil down the four soils from Luke 8:1-8, you will find that the root problem of each of the three poor soils is control which is the outworking of pride.
Keep this in mind: boasting and grace are incompatible (James 4:6).
