Our Completion Is in The Seed

By Tammy Lacock

We must first understand what took place in us as believers before we can understand what’s in the seed. And yet, we must understand what’s in the seed in order for us to understand what God is doing in our lives and who we are now.

By just believing in Christ as our Savior, we are born again. When Christ died, we died too. Our old Satan-nature (passed down by the curse of Adam) was replaced by Christ’s nature. The gospel tells us that He came into us as a seed.

“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” (1 Peter 1:23 KJV)

In Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection, we died, were buried, and arose to a new life with Him and in Him by His seed. God literally, not figuratively, planted the incorruptible seed of His Son in our spirits giving us a completely new life.

Christ tells us in John 12:24 that there must be a death for life to come forth. This is the deepest truth of God. Just as Christ’s death brought life to many, we too must go through a death to ourselves, in our souls-minds, our flesh, so that the seed of Christ can break through our hard shell and bear much fruit through us.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.” (John 12:24 KJV)

The problem is the gospel for today isn’t being preached. Most believers don’t know what took place in them. They don’t know that Christ is now their new life by His seed. They don’t know that they are now complete by His seed. They don’t know who they are. We continue to identify by what we do rather than who we are now: born-again children of God! Christ is our life now. In Him, we are complete.

“Ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.” (Colossians 2:10 KJV)

It’s by the revelation of the Holy Spirit through our circumstances and situations that we come to this knowledge of Christ now in us. And it’s through the sufferings in these circumstances and situations where we begin to grow up in Him, acknowledging Him in all things and through all things. This is where the fullness of who God created us to be comes to life, the seed of Christ breaking through our old identities and mind sets. This is where we begin to truly understand what the Apostle Paul says in Ephesians 1:4 (KJV):

“According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.”

By Christ’s Seed in us, God’s work is finished…we are complete! Now go on and live like it!
