Genesis 2:7 says, "Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." God the Creator breathed into Adam's nostrils the breath of life. Then, what is this 'breath of life'? Is it something that is also functioning in all men, Adam's descendants, who have been born since he sinned? When you understand how a life-giving work occurs in you, you will be amazed at the love of God the Father.
The breath of life, the fundamental power bringing about a life-giving work
Genesis chapter 2 records that God formed Adam of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. Then, Adam became a living being. Ezekiel chapter 37 describes a vision that God put sinew on dry bones, caused flesh to grow back on them, and covered them with skin. When God 'put breath' in them, the dry bones 'came alive' and became a great army. This 'breath of life' also was what worked when the two witnesses died in martyrdom during the Seven-year Great Tribulation and came back to life as recorded in Revelation 11:11. As you can see, the 'breath of life' is fundamental in bringing about a life-giving work.
Before He laid out the plan of 'human cultivation' and pushed ahead with the Creation, God had existed in the original space in the form of brilliant light containing magnificently resonant sound (Ref: John 1:1; 1 John 1:5). Thus, the base and the origin of God is still the original Light containing the sound. This original Light contains infinite power and wisdom. This power of God contained in this original Light works as the 'breath of life'.
The breath of life given to Adam, he became an immortal spiritual being that didn't get old
As the breath of life, which is the original power of God, went into the nucleus of Adam's cells, which was the focus of life in the body, Adam came to life and he became a living being. Even though he had a fleshly body made of dust, the fundamental abilities set to work in him were given to him by God, and so he was an immortal spiritual being.
The breath of life was automatically inherited to Adam's descendants whom Adam gave birth to in the Garden of Eden. They are fully under the affects of the breath of life in the course of their lives, so they all grow up well and they are healthy. They grow until they just pass the age of a young man and then stop growing at a certain point. Then their bodies no longer age and maintain this state. It is possible because the original power of God has the control over the nucleus that, fundamentally, adjusts the body.
The seed of life,a trace of the breath of life in the form of a small seed
However, the situation changed after Adam and Eve committed the sin of disobedience toward God and they were sent out from the Garden of Eden to the earth. God recalled the breath of life from Adam and Eve and allowed them to have just a little bit of it remaining so that only a faint trace of it was left. This breath of life that remained inside the nucleus, which is the most centrally focused point in the body, was in the form of a small seed. This is the "Seed of Life."
However, the descendants to whom Adam gave birth on this earth do not inherit this seed of life directly from their parents. For this reason, God gives the spirit to a baby in the sixth month from its conception. He also puts the seed of life into the spirit, and puts it into the nucleus of a cell of the heart. With spiritual eyes open, bluish light can be seen glowing from inside this seed of life.
The seed of life that is planted in the center of the body can be compared to a 'buoy' in the sea. Although the cell that becomes the center of the body keeps changing, the seed of life is fixed in the center of the body like the buoy. Just as blood pumps out of the heart and spreads to every corner of the body, spiritual strength pumps from the heart-area, which is the center of the body as well, and spreads throughout the whole body and controls entire system of cells in the body.
By the Spirit the seed of life should sprout, grow and bear fruit
As a person accepts the Lord Jesus Christ, he is forgiven and receives the Holy Spirit, then finally the seed of life in them awakens (Figure 2). When the Holy Spirit enters them, their dead spirits are awakened and the seed of life in them begins performing its functions (Ref: John 3:6).
Once a seed sprouts, it must be provided with water and sunlight to grow. By the same token, after the seed of life awakens, it must be provided with spiritual water and light. In other words, we, with the seed awakened, must make bread of the Word of God, which is spiritual water, and live by the truth that is spiritual light; only then can the seed of life grow up well (Figure 3).
When the seed of life grows up to be big enough to cover the nucleus in the center of the body, the person becomes a 'man of the spirit'. If the seed continues to grow even larger, then the person becomes a 'man of whole spirit'. As the size of the seed becomes big enough to cover the nucleus, the body will no longer ride on the fleshly flow. As it becomes even bigger, the control over the body is completely managed in the dimension of the spirit.
God plants the seed of life into every person. He also sent the Savior Jesus and the Holy Spirit so that anybody can reach salvation with faith. We give all thanks and glory to God who has allowed us to grow up spiritually in the fullness of the Spirit at this end time. We urge you, the readers, to quickly accomplish spirit and whole spirit. And we hope by doing so you will become the bride of the Lord who dwells in eternal praise, honor, and glory.
TIP
Just as the blood that pumps out of the heart spreads to every corner of the body, spiritual strength is pumped from a cell of the heart and spreads throughout the whole body and controls the entire system of cells of the body.
*The blue circle stands for the seed of life
The Spirit that Is as Dead
The seed of life that is planted in the spirit of a man is like a small seed that remains as it is without moving.
The Spirit Awakened
As people accept the Lord Jesus Christ, they are forgiven and receive the Holy Spirit and then the seed of life in their spirit sprouts and the spirit awakens.
The Spirit as It Grows Up
Once the seed of life sprouts and the spirit awakens, it must be provided with both spiritual water and sunlight to grow up.
Spirit and Whole Spirit
When the seed of life in us grows up and we become men of spirit and whole spirit, our body will no longer ride on the fleshly flow.
