The fruit is the result of God\u2019s kingdom being established in the hearts of men.\u00a0 It is further explained in this parable that there are three reasons that a person&#8217;s life does not produce fruit.\u00a0 These three reasons therefore can be viewed as obstacles that every individual must overcome to \u201cknow\u201d God through Christ.\u00a0 The \u201cbearing of fruit\u201d from this perspective can be seen as spiritual growth that benefits the ground (individual} in which the seed has been sown. The ground that does not bear fruit fails to realize any of the potential that God has for that individual and he lives a life of meaningless from God\u2019s point of view.\u00a0 Therefore, it is to be understood that any person&#8217;s life can only be successful if it is being directed by the Word of God.\u00a0 It must be noted that this parable explains that there is an enemy that purposely attempts to hinder spiritual growth in every individual by attacking the Word which they have heard.\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43e0294 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"43e0294\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Review of  The Parable of the Sower<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2044006 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2044006\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Matthew 13:2-9 and 18-23<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ffeb7df e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ffeb7df\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a27d6b elementor-widget elementor-widget-wd_contact_form_7\" data-id=\"4a27d6b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wd_contact_form_7.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"wpcf7 no-js\" id=\"wpcf7-f584-o1\" lang=\"en-US\" dir=\"ltr\" data-wpcf7-id=\"584\">\n<div class=\"screen-reader-response\"><p role=\"status\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/p> <ul><\/ul><\/div>\n<form action=\"\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpages%2F578#wpcf7-f584-o1\" method=\"post\" class=\"wpcf7-form init\" aria-label=\"Contact form\" novalidate=\"novalidate\" data-status=\"init\">\n<fieldset class=\"hidden-fields-container\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7\" value=\"584\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_version\" value=\"6.1.3\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_locale\" value=\"en_US\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_unit_tag\" value=\"wpcf7-f584-o1\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_container_post\" value=\"0\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_posted_data_hash\" value=\"\" \/>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p><label>1.
