But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
But the seed that lands in good soil? That's someone who actually listens to God's message and gets it. They don't just hear it, they understand it, live it out, and watch it grow into something amazing. Some people see incredible results, others see good results, but everyone who really receives it will see their life produce something beautiful.
When you truly hear and understand God's word, your life becomes fertile ground for something incredible to grow.
