1 Peter 1:23-25 (KJV)
“23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.”
Everything that is born of God is born of an incorruptible seed the Word of God; it lives and it abides forever. The corruptible seed is fleshy and is as grass, and the glory mankind has in it, is as the flower of grass. The flower of grass is what carries the seeds; it is in the glory of mankind these seeds are scattered and produces all that is corruptible.
Therefore, if we are born of God or of the Word of God it will last forever; if we are born of the glory of man it will only last as long as the man birthing it. The apostle Paul tells us, “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal” (2Corinthians 4:18).
The Word of God being the incorruptible seed that brings birth to all that is spiritual is the only thing that is of eternal value. The Kingdom of God is neither meat nor drink; the Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost (Romans 14:17). The Kingdom of God is invisible and eternal; the kingdoms of man are visible and perishable.
The inner strength and the inner power we receive from the Word of God will overcome the world. The incorruptible seed of the Word of God is the DNA birthed of God and is what overcomes the world and all that is corruptible and destructive to us.
