where do you belong?? which one are you??

I have read another parable in the bible… At first, I cant understand its meaning.. But while I continue reading it I realize the true meaning of the parable. the parable is all about a sower who sow seeds… (Mark 4:3-20)

A sower went out to sow. As he sow, it happened that some seed fell by the wayside and the birds of the air came and devoured it.

Some fell on stony ground, where it did not have much earth. The seed immediately sprang up but when the sun was up, it was scorched and because it had no root it withered away.

And some seed fell among thorns and the thorns grew up and chocked it and it yielded no crop.

But other seed fell on good ground and yielded crops that sprang up, increased and produced. Some yielded thirty fold, some sixty and some a hundred..

What does this parable means?

The sower is the one who sows the Word of God. It only means that the seed is the Word of God.

The ones by the wayside where the word is sown, when they hear the word, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.

These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word immediately receives it with gladness. But they have no roots in themselves and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word’s sake, immediately they stumble.

The ones sown among thorns, they are the ones who hear the word. The cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches and the desires for other things entering in choke the word and it becomes fruitful.

But the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: some are thirty fold, some sixty and some a hundred..

Where do you belong?? Which one are you??

the one who heard the word but Satan took it from you? the one who heard the word and received it with gladness but immediately stumble?? the one who heard the word but became unfruitful?? or the one who heard the word, accepted it and bore fruits…
