How does God determine who the good seed is?

Answered in 1 source

God determines who the good seed is by His sovereign choice and the redemptive work of Christ in the hearts of His people.

The determination of who constitutes good seed lies in God’s sovereignty and His plan of redemption. In Matthew 13:37-39, Jesus identifies Himself as the Son of Man, the one who sows the good seed. This indicates that it is through His action—choosing and calling His people—that they become good seed. Furthermore, passages such as Romans 8:29 remind us that those He foreknew are predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son. Therefore, one's status as good seed is rooted in divine election and grace, affirming that it is not based on individual effort but on God’s mercy and purpose.
