Philippians 2:13 KJV
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure
Doing good starts with God. He gives desires for us to do good. As we tend to grow older, our desire changes from the time we were a kid until we are fully grown.
Colossians 3:1-2 KJV
1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Acts 17:27 KJV
If you seek God you'll find Him, it is our innovation to seek God.
Acts 13:7 KJV
That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he is not far from every one of us:
This may also happen when you desire to do the work of God. Your parents, or your spouse, your friends, or your children may hinder you.
What is the meaning of the parable of the sower by Christ?
Luke 8:12 KJV
Those by the wayside are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
When you plant on the wayside, there are many distractions because a lot of people are passing by. If you are by the wayside, the devil can easily access you.
Luke 8:13 KJV
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.
The rocky heart is hard. The heat of the rock symbolizes temptation. The word of God can not have root in such a place.
Luke 8:14 KJV
And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
Luke 8:15 KJV
But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
Timothy 2:4 KJV
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
God wants us all to be saved. He can change our being only if we submit, believe, and seek him.
I Corinthians 6:9-11 KJV
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Whoever you be you can be saved as long as you repent.

Hello brethren, it is good if we can answer these 3 simple questions when doing our hive post.
What are the important points we have learned from the words of God discussed in the Zoom meeting?
What are our former beliefs or expectation that was improved for listening at the Zoom meeting?
How does the study affect us that can make us a better person that we can use in our daily lives?
God bless us brethren
