Gal 4:16 But to Abraham were the promises spoken and to his seed. He does not say, "And to the seeds," as concerning many, but as concerning one: "And to your seed," who is Christ. 1John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God, and everyone who loves has been begotten of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love has not known God , because God is love .
[Part 4 of 4] In order to make this matter clear, I would like to borrow a term from biology. This term is the word "gene." The Triune God in humanity sown into our being is the gene of the kingdom. We know that without human genes it is impossible to have human life. Our birth, our being, and our existence all came from a gene. Now we must see that the Triune God in humanity has been sown into us to be the gene of the kingdom. Praise the Lord that this gene is within us! Eventually, the kingdom will issue from this gene. This understanding of the kingdom is certainly different from the superficial understanding of many Christians today. We have seen that one day the Triune God became a man named Jesus Christ, the God-man. Now this One, through the preaching of the gospel, has been sown into us. The Lord has been sown into our heart! The One who has been sown into us is the gene of the kingdom, the Triune God in humanity. This wonderful One is our God, Lord, Savior, Redeemer, Master, and life. Because the God-man as the gene of the kingdom has been sown into us, we spontaneously love one another and enjoy marvelous fellowship. Do you know why we love one another? We love one another because of the gene that is within us. This gene contains the element with which we love one another. Day by day the seed of the kingdom is growing and developing within us. Oh, may we all be burdened to tell others this good news! We may forget many things, but we should all remember the gene that is within us. The Triune God in humanity has been sown into us as a seed of life to grow, develop, and issue in the kingdom. [Continued tomorrow] (c) Living Stream Ministry.
