THE SEED OF GOD
Seeds are wonderful things,
for in the planting of them, one can be sure that
seeds will produce of their own. Carrot seeds will always produce carrots, apple
seeds will always produce apples, orange seeds will always produce oranges, etc.
No one in their right mind would plant carrot seeds expecting them to produce
apples. And no one in their right mind could ever expect any other fruit or
vegetable of flower or tree or plant of any kind to result from the planting of
seeds which are not of the plant intended to be produced. What kind of fool
would it take to say that most apples come from apple seeds but this particular
apple has come from a carrot seed! Well, I suppose one could say that and even
believe it if one wanted to, but one could
never supply any evidence to support such a ridiculous claim. There are many
so-called ‘Christians’ today who actually believe that such a thing can happen
in the spiritual realm. They believe that a Christian can be produced by the
preaching of a false gospel. In other words, the
sowing of a corruptible seed can produce an incorruptible offspring!
The Seed of
God is the Word of God, and in the planting of
this Seed is produced one, and only one,
‘fruit’ -
CHRISTIANS!! The Word
of God which deals with salvation is contained in the Gospel, the Good News of
God, and in the planting of this Word, or Seed, there has always been,
and can only always result in,
a Christian ‘plant’. Never once in the history of man has this Seed ever
produced anything other than a Christian, and, on no occasion has any other seed
which is not the Seed of God ever produced a true Christian. Just as the
Gospel of God is the only power of God unto salvation, so too, the Gospel of God
is the only means by which a person is born again. Just as you cannot get
carrots from orange seeds or oranges from apple seeds,
you cannot get a Christian from any seed other than the true Seed of God. This
Seed,
as we mentioned,
is the Word of God and when it comes to salvation,
the Word of God is called the Gospel of God. Once this seed is planted in a
person,
the only result that can be realised is a born again person, a Christian.
The seed must be planted,
the Gospel must be heard, it must be understood and it must be believed,
for there to be evidence that the Seed of God has indeed truly been planted and
taken root. So it stands to biblical reason that before this seed of God is
planted, or if any other seed is planted, there can never be a true Christian
- a child or ‘plant’, if
you will, of God. No false gospel can produce such a creature as a Christian.
You cannot get blood out of a stone, you cannot get oranges from apple seeds and
YOU CAN NEVER get a Christian from the planting, or sowing/preaching, of a false
gospel. A false gospel is another seed and not the seed of God. To be
born again is to be born of the Gospel of the grace of God and no other. If you
have not the seed of God,
you have not a Christian. Everything has been designed by the Almighty Creator
to produce of its own kind: fruit, vegetables, animals and man himself,
has only,
and can produce only,
of its own kind. The case is no
different when it comes to God and His Seed. With it He can only produce true
Christians who believe His Gospel and His Gospel alone,
and who all repent of ever having believed in a false gospel and that that
gospel had ever saved them. If you or anyone you know believes or teaches that a
person is saved even though they believe in a false gospel, or that the person
claims to believe in the true Gospel yet insists they were saved whilst
believing in another, you/they are currently in a lost state. You do not know
God or His Gospel,
for if you did you would know that HIS GOSPEL and HIS GOSPEL ALONE is His POWER
UNTO SALVATION. The fruit of the Gospel can only be produced by the Gospel.
No other gospel is His Gospel and
no other seed is
His Seed, and therefore has never and can never produce His offspring. BE NOT
DECEIVED!! To be born again is to be born of His Seed, His Word, His Gospel.
