Why is a good heart important for receiving God's Word?

Answered in 1 source

A good heart is essential for truly understanding and accepting God's Word, leading to spiritual fruitfulness.

According to the parable, the only good ground is a broken heart, one that is spiritually prepared to receive the Word of God. The heart must be broken by the Spirit, recognizing its own sinfulness and need for God's grace. Jesus emphasizes that without this condition, the Word may be heard but will not take root. A good heart is characterized by faith, love for the truth, and a genuine desire for God, resulting in a fruitful Christian life that honors Him.
