seed is an hard object, produced by plants.
When a seed is planted, it takes time before it germinates.
In the process of germination, the seed suffers decomposition, before it can come forth, which will no longer be a seed but a plant.
When this seed is planted, it needs to be watered, pruned and weeded, in order to become healthy.
The seed represents believers
Therefore, every Christian is planted in the Lord. ( psalms 1:1-3)
The day you accepted and confessed Christ Jesus, you became that planted seed.
The seed suffer decomposition, that is, the old man passes away (2 Corinthians 5:17)
The seed now germinates and becomes a planted seed, that is you become a new person (2 Corinthians 5:17)
It is the word of God that prunes, because every plant has it own purpose.
Therefore, study to show yourself approve.
