The Seed Is Good, but What Is It?
First Nephi 8 is a great connection to Matthew 13 and it's parable of the sower. We also have to join him in that work because this is unlike the literal aspect of this story. The soil gets to choose for itself in so many ways. In verse 40 he says, thus, if ye will not nourish the word, looking forward with an eye of faith to the fruit thereof, ye can never pluck of the fruit of the tree of life. It's an amazing moment where he finally lets you know what kind of seed you've been planting all along.
