The Narrow Road And Only One Good Soil

In Matt. 13:1-9 the majority of the people who hear the Word of God are not of the elect. The Word will have no lasting affect on them, except their judgment, because they are one of the 3 types of bad soil. Only one out of the four soil types is actually good and produces fruit. Those who are not elected unto salvation may hear and see, but will never come to repentance and eternal life.

Mat 13:10  And the disciples came and said to Him, "Why do You speak to them in parables?"
Mat 13:11  And He answered and said to them, "To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted.
Mat 13:12  "For whoever has, to him shall more be given, and he shall have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.
Mat 13:13  "Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
Mat 13:14  "And in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says, 'YOU WILL KEEP ON HEARING, BUT WILL NOT UNDERSTAND; AND YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT WILL NOT PERCEIVE; 
Mat 13:15  FOR THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL, AND WITH THEIR EARS THEY SCARCELY HEAR, AND THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES LEST THEY SHOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES, AND HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART AND RETURN, AND I SHOULD HEAL THEM.'
Mat 13:16  "But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.
Mat 13:17  "For truly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it; and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

Mat 7:13  "Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it.
Mat 7:14  "For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it. 

Joh 15:8  "By this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.
Joh 15:9  "Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.

Joh 15:16  "You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask of the Father in My name, He may give to you.

Joh 6:64  "But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him. 65  And He was saying, "For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me, unless it has been granted him from the Father."
