“…and their seeds produced plants and trees of like kind…”
Genesis 1:12
Seeds are a fascinating part of God’s creation plan. The seeds He placed in plants and trees were to reproduce like kind, and that’s exactly what happened. The same was true for animals, each was “…able to reproduce more of its own kind” (v. 25)
However, when it came to man, God said, “Let us make people in our image, to be like ourselves.” Then He blessed them and told them to “…multiply and fill the earth.”
If God intended the seeds in plants and animals to produce more of their kind, what about man who was created in GOD’s image? If the seed inside of man reproduced like kind, wouldn’t his offspring look like God?
That must have been God’s intent, but sadly sin spoiled his originally perfect seed. However, God so loved the world that He made a way for man to be “born again.” The rotten seed of sin could be replaced with His eternal Seed, the one that bears HIS image, the one full of HIS life.
Oh, how the world today needs to see what GOD looks like. But the only way they’ll see HIS image is if born again people show the likeness of the Seed that lives inside of them.
So, how 'bout we multiply and fill the earth with GOD’s “like kind!”
