What does it mean to bear precious seed?

The term 'precious seed' from Psalm 126:5-6 illustrates the value of the gospel we carry as believers. When we bear this seed and engage in spreading the truth of Christ, we do so with the assurance that God has ordained a harvest. The promise is clear: those who sow in tears will reap with joy. This reflects the dual aspect of evangelism, where the hardship in sharing God’s truth is met with the profound joy of seeing lives transformed by it. Understanding that this seed is 'precious' invites us to approach the task of sharing the gospel with a sense of urgency and reverence for its eternal significance.
