Four Kinds of Soil

Pastor John,

I am right now translating Preacher Clark’s  gospel tract on the four kinds of soil (https://goingtojesus.com/gtj_tracts.html?tname=tract-063-fourkinds), and I’m loving it.  I have a question, though, because I want to make sure I am conveying the right thought to Hungarian readers. 

One of the last paragraphs says this:
“So, now, can you answer my question, friend?  In which of these four groups are you?  It helps us to answer that question honestly once we acknowledge that not only the Lord sees where we really are, but every true saint of God does, too.”

Does the highlighted part mean that every true saint of God knows it about themselves which group they belong to?  I feel like that’s what Preacher Clark is saying here, but the way it is put, it could mean something else.

Thank you!

Hi Zoli,

I have always understood that to mean that true saints of God discern where others are, as the Lord does.  But I can see how you would read it a different way.  Maybe it is best just to leave it as it is and let each Reader see it as the Lord gives it to him.
