It's All in the Seed
IllustrationAnalogy★★★★IF A PERSON has accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior, then God has deposited within them a divine nature. Divine nature is the nature of God deposited inside of the believer in seed form. Inside of the seed lies spiritual potential. It’s all in the seed.
When a seed of corn is planted, in that seed is all the potential of a stalk with a bunch of ears. Watermelon seed is planted because inside is the promise of something so much bigger. An acorn has all the makings for a huge oak tree. Planted seeds grow, with the help of a little water and sunshine, into so much more than originally visible.
However, they must go through a process of growth in order to fully mature into their possibilities.
The point
Every seed contains the full potential of what it will become; similarly, when Christ's divine nature lives in a believer, that contains all spiritual potential waiting to grow through time and nurture.
