bring forth living creatures after their kind; cattle and creeping
things and beasts of the earth after their kind’; and it was so.”

In nature God made everything after its kind. The life is in the
seed and the seed determines what will come. That’s true in
animal life and that’s true in plant life. Dogs do not bring forth
cats. A horse will not bring forth a lion. A bird will never bring
forth a fish. 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 him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.”
This is the law 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.

There is a great battle today among psychologists. They study
human behavior and they say, “What is the greatest influence
on a person? Is it the environment, where you live? Or is it
heredity; genetics.” In all of life the image of the plant is
stamped by the seed. In other words, all life will move to be
like the parent.

My mom and dad were divorced when I was three years old. I
didn’t see my father until I was seventeen years old. When I
saw him, he looked just like me because his seed is in me. So,
we walk like our father and we talk like our father. You look
like your parents. When 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
