1 John 3:9-10 “Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. [10] In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.”
“...for his seed remaineth in him.” consider that seed which is the seed of God in relation to Genesis 1:11-12 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. [12] And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Let the earth bring forth grass, herb that yields seed, fruit trees that yield fruit...and the importance of “after his kind” and the “whose seed was in itself”. Adam was to dress the garden...to be fruitful and to multiply. (Genesis 2: 15) And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden ‘to dress it’ and ‘to keep it’. But that which was good in God’s sight was cursed in Genesis 3:17-19 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; [18] Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; [19] In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
In sorrow you shall eat. Thorns and thistle shall the ground bring forth to thee. Please meditate on the word ‘in vain’ ...everything pertaining to the curse and death and all that God clearly says is void without His resurrection power of the Spirit. Acts 5:38-39 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: [39] But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
...if this work be of men ...it will surely come to nothing. BUT if the counsel or work be of God ...you cannot overthrow it.
As “let earth bring forth” also “let heaven bring forth seed being the image of Him whom dressed it. John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
Psalm 127:1-3 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. [2] It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. [3] Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord : and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Children (of the promise) are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
the fruit of the womb is his reward. The fruit of Righteousness being the fruit of that Spiritual womb from above. The seed (His)which remains in those born of God bearing and yielding spiritual fruit of His seed. Again Genesis 1:11-12 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. [12] And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Since Adam all man brings forth is grass to be burned, herb yielding the seed of sin, and the fruit tree yielding after “his kind” passing on sin and death and the curse from one generation to another. We have borne the natural’s image. We have borne Adam’s image. We have borne earth’s image ... the seed of death yielded and multiplied. However as we have borne the image of sin, we are to bear His image (1 Corinthians 15:46-49) Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. [47] The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. [48] As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. [49] And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
His seed remains. And THAT Tree which is the Tree of LIFE comes from Christ’s seed that remains in the children born of God. The seed of Christ yielding after “the image of the heavenly” As with Adam sin is passed on unto the curse and death; the seed we all have borne. It is not so of the children borne of God but they are called to bear His image; the seed of Resurrection Life, His seed “yielding fruit after HIS kind”
Job 38:25-26 Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder; To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man; To satisfy the desolate and waste ground ; and to cause the BUD of the tender herb(Life) to spring forth?
Hebrews 6:7-8 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: [8] But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
Revelation 22:2-3 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. [3] And ...there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
Isaiah 61:3
[3] To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, THAT HE MIGHT BE GLORIFIED.
...the GARMENT of PRAISE for the spirit of heaviness!
Proverbs 11:30
[30] The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls.
Proverbs 13:12-14
[12] Hope ‘deferred’ maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. [13] Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded. [14] The law of the wise is A FOUNTAIN OF LIFE, to depart from the snares of death.
Proverbs 15:4
[4] A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a BREACH in the spirit.
Psalm 37:3
