And when you plant something, the thing you plant does not have the same “body” that it will have later. The thing you plant is only a seed, maybe wheat or something else.
You have been born again. This new life did not come from something that dies. It came from something that cannot die. You were born again through God’s living message {\cf2\super [11]} that continues forever.
When God makes a person his child, that person does not continue to sin. Why? Because the new life God gave that person {\cf2\super [9]} stays in him. So that person is not able to continue sinning. Why? Because he has become a child of God.
We know that any person who has been made God’s child does not continue to sin. The Son of God keeps God’s child safe. {\cf2\super [22]} The Evil One (the devil) cannot hurt that person.
