1 Corinthians 3:1-9 || Exploring: God Gives The Growth

Seeds are a great illustration for our true identity.  Seeds contain life and form that remain invisible to us.  They are an actuality that contain a possibility. They contain a blueprint for something far greater than what we can see merely by looking at the seed.

Seeds contain a form. We are not accidental – we are created with intent. We are not lumps of something but intricately formed, highly complex beings. Scripture teaches us that as human beings, we have been pre-formed. Long before we were born, we existed in the mind of God. God, therefore, foreknew us.

Our destiny is to be con-formed, and trans-formed into the image of Christ. Our essence preceded our existence, and your essence and existence are fascinating.

This four-week series will guide us through our FPC Spiritual Growth Map as we consider our true identity in Christ.
