rebxar: A person who "is born of God" has been made a new creature in Christ. Christ dwells in us by his Spirit giving us new desires and the power to overcome sin. I believe that "His seed" refers to the Spirit of God dwelling within our hearts which will guide us, which convict us, who will teach us what God desires of his children. Romans 6:17 to 18 teaches that "we were the slaves of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered unto you" In other words the Gospel of Christ. In Christ we are "made free from sin, you have become servants of righteousness. We have a new master. We who were slaves to sin are now made saints in Christ. However, we know that until Christ comes we will contend with the old nature which is reckoned to be dead and as such we will sin. However sin should be the accident and will not be habitually practised if we allow the Spirit of God to speak to our hearts and guide our lives. Peace in his Name. |

The Word of God, the Spirit of God, and God are inseperable. God and His word are the same. The Holy Spirit came to reveal the word, the heart, God, to our newborn spirit and transform us into the likeness of Christ.(the likeness of God) John 1:1 In the beginning was the word, the word was with God and the word was God.... We are transormed by the renewing of our mind. The seed of the word, is the seed of the heart of God and produces the image of God in us when revealed by the Spirit and then mixed with faith. Hebrews 4:12 gospel unprofitable not mixed with faith Romans 12:2 Be ye transformed Romans 8:28 predestined to be transformed to the image of His son. John 16:12-14 God's word is truth, and the Holy Spirit has been sent to reveal that truth to each of us. Summary We are the spiritual seed of God (reborn by the Holy Spirit) but the seed of the word mixed with faith must transform us into His image. Our old nature wars with our new nature, but as our minds are renewed, and our will surrendered to be obedient to that truth, the old nature weakens and our spiritual new man becomes stronger, therein we become victorious over sin... Galatians 5:17-19 |
