Jesus is not coming back in the same manner He came the first time. So all the unbelievers will be in a lot of trouble with the second coming and not be able to doubt and ridicule Him. They will be facing an awful judgment.

- Yes, he will come back as a warrior!
- But you say the unbelievers!

The verse tells a person what God requires in Matthew, To do the will of God. What is the will of God.

And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

- Matthew 13 and the parable of the sower is a good one !

- And they are all believers !

- The first three groups are good to nothing, the first two groups don’t produce fruit, the third one becomes unfruitful !

- The fourth one understands God’s Word and bears fruit and produces one hundred times more or 60 or 30.

- To produce fruit you must be active, you can’t just believe !

- Those who just believe but don’t produce fruit belong to the first three groups !

- And they are good to nothing !

That is a complete miss representation of this parable. Only the first soil is stated as not being a believer because when the word is sown and is not understood and the devil comes and takes it away.

The other three soils receive the word with joy believe and are saved, all three seeds germinate. But only the 4th soils bears fruit, the other two do not.

This parable is about believers and examples of three types of believers and their fruit bearing.

This is not about showing there is only one believer out of four, because they bear fruit.
