The parable teaches that not everyone who hears will believe. Notice in three quarters of the places where the seed fell the seed did not bear fruit.

I think one of the important things for a christian to see in this parable is that the farmer intended to plant the seed in the soil that he had prepared and it was the prepared (good) soil that bore fruit.

The human heart is not naturally ready to receive the seed so it must be prepared. No descendent of Adam is naturally inclined toward God.

Many times sowers of the gospel seed do not speed enough time preparing the hearts and minds of people before they offer them the gospel. The results are professions of faith that only last a short time. There is little permanent growth and no fruit in the lives of such people.

The seed must also be cultivated after it has taken root = making disciples.
