Parable of the Sower: Part 4 of 4
And those [in the last group] are the ones on whom seed was sown on the good soil; and they hear the word [of God, the good news regarding the way of salvation] and accept it and bear fruit—thirty, sixty, and a hundred times as much [as was sown]. -Mark 4:20
These are the group of the people that revolve their lives around God and are intentional every single day in making God a priority and are also very intentional in not letting bad things creep into their lives. These people are evident in their fruit, not only living their lives in a way that honors God but also affecting other people to want to live more for God as well, which is what the verse above is referring to, multiplying the fruit. We can all get to this point but we have to be intentional in putting God first, putting our selfishness to the wayside, and the rest will come.
