Planting Seeds: What the Word of God Does for Our Lives

In Genesis 1 God spoke of making (hu)man in his image and after his likeness. In Genesis 2 God formed (hu)man off the dust of the ground and breathe into his nostrils the breath of life. Just as in the beginning God spoke his word and it became to pass. But when it came to the earth God spoke that it would bring forth fruit from whatever was planted in it and whatever grew from what was planted the seed of it was in the fruit of what would grow. God planted his word and his Spirit in us from the very beginning. But another seed was planted-the seed of disobedience. So now we have to choose what words we will receive to grow in us to produce whatever type of fruit for the seed is in that fruit. So in receiving the Word of God as planting seeds you are now the by-product of the first fruits. His seed is within to produce after his kind.
