1 Corinthians 15:37,38 - God gives it a body

15:37

Moreover, the seed that is sown bears no resemblance to the plant that grows, though of course different seeds give rise to different plants. But the seed looks dead, it looks as if there is no life in it at all. Indeed if the seed is just left there nothing at all will happen, nothing will come from it. But if it is sown in the ground it will germinate and a plant will grow. Nature was all created by God and reflects something of the glory of God.


15:38

So from the seemingly dead seed a body comes. And the sort from which it comes is determined by God. Now consider this for a moment. This does not mean that God acts randomly, it does not mean that no one could guess what sort of plant would grow. Wheat seeds produce wheat, poppy seeds produce poppies. And so a believer who dies will be raised Christlike. Amazing transformations occur in nature.
