Everything is after the life of the seed. Watermelon sees produce
watermelons. Apple seeds produce apples. A squash seed cannot
produce a carrot. It’s a law of life.

Why am I stressing that life comes from the seed? 1John 3:9, “No
one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in

of physical life. It’s the law of spiritual life. His seed abides in you
and His seed abides in me. That’s the guarantee that someday you
will be like Christ. When you receive Christ, God put His seed into
your life; a divine seed, a heavenly protoplasm. He made you alive
in God. He took your spirit and he planted a seed. You are the
workmanship of God. Now, because His seed is in you, that seed
will produce after its kind. Everything will be conformed to the
seed.

life begins, it begins with a seed.

I tried to study this with secular books. I’m not a scientist but I read,
and I think this is true, that in the beginning when it is just a blob of
protoplasm and semi liquid white substance, there is no way that the
scientist knows what that will become. They are not sure if it will
be a squash or a tree. At the beginning it all looks the same. Will it
be a fish? Will it be a bird? Will it be a man or a woman created in
the image of God? At first sit all looks the same. But the seed will
