1 John 3:9 – No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God.
Regenerated by God
When we place faith in Christ, we experience new birth by God’s Spirit.
The Holy Spirit takes up residence within, imparting Christ’s resurrection life.
His living presence germinates internally, taking root in our hearts. Our remade desires bear fruit for the Kingdom of God.
No Longer Enslaved
Before knowing Christ, sin easily entangled us. But the Spirit’s seed brings power to resist temptation.
Though we still stumble sometimes, sin no longer chains us.
Growth Takes Time
Our transformation in Christ is a process.
The seed is planted at conversion but takes time to grow. Nurturing spiritual disciplines foster maturity and holiness.
Lord, Grow Your Seed in Me
Lord, thank You for planting Your seed of life within me. I confess that sin still trips me up sometimes. I ask that by the Holy Spirit, Your seed would take deeper root in me, transforming me from within. Nurture holiness in me until Christ is fully formed.
