Seed for Dec 31

1 Cor 15:47
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
(KJV)

The Lord did a new thing. He planted His Seed in the dirt (the womb of a woman) and created a new race. The Last Adam is race of God-men, a race of new creatures never before living upon the earth! Religion has taught us to keep our eyes upon our dirt, the old man. It is like us watching the dirt of the first Adam. That which is born of the flesh is flesh (dirt), and cannot please God. Why then, must we constantly watch our dirt to see how we are doing spiritually? Do we think by controlling the old man, the first Adam, by keeping our eyes upon the dirt, we can measure how we please God? Impossible! Dirt will always be dirt. The earthy is of the earth, from below. Being born of first Adam, seed of man, you are unable to please God, even by keeping all the rules of religion! Yet, religion has taught us to keep our eyes upon the dirt to see how we are doing. So everyone is looking at their dirt, instead of the New Creation, the Seed of God planted in our dirt. We will never be any more than dirt, no matter how many rules we have kept. It is not a matter of keeping the religious rule, trying to making the dirt better. It is all about the new man, the God-man, Christ within us. Rather than having our internal focus on the dirt, the old man, let’s see what God is doing in us, by His New Creation, the race of Last Adams. True faith is putting all your trust in Him, and none in your dirt. Be blessed.
