5 Bible Verses about Rejoicing In God's Word

And the person who was sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the message and immediately welcomes it joyfully,

And in the same way, some [of the seed] that was sown on rocky soil represented those who heard 'the word' and immediately accepted it gladly,

And those people [represented by the seed falling] on rocky ground are those who, upon hearing the word [of God], accept it gladly, but since they have no root [system], they believe it for [only] awhile, and [then] in times of trial fall away [from God].

And the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for look, I am bringing good news that will cause great joy to all people.

So, what [should I think about the situation]? Just this: I am happy and will continue to be happy that, in every way, Christ is being preached, [regardless of] whether it is in pretense or with sincerity.
