Why is it important to have a good heart for accepting the Word of God?

Answered in 1 source

A good heart, given by God, is essential for truly understanding and accepting His Word.

The parable outlines that only the good soil—representing a heart transformed by God's grace—can receive the Word effectively. This new heart, as promised in the covenant, is capable of genuine understanding and retention of God's teaching. It's important because without a good heart, the seed of the Word cannot take root and produce lasting fruit. God's transformative work in a believer's heart leads to an honest reception of His Word, resulting in spiritual growth and fruitfulness.
