How do we know that God chooses who receives His Word?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereign choice in who receives His Word is demonstrated through the different responses outlined in the parable.

The parable of the sower illustrates that not everyone who hears the Word of God responds positively. Jesus indicates that while many hear the Word, only a fraction receives it with understanding and faith. This aligns with the concept of God’s sovereign grace, whereby He prepares certain hearts to receive His truth. The parable suggests that God's sovereign will determines who will bear fruit for His Kingdom, reinforcing the doctrine that many are called but few are chosen.
