Incorruptible Seed

I am by no means an expert in horticulture, but I do understand the identification of a tree or plant by the fruit it bears.  If I were to drive through a vast apple orchard with various types of apple trees, in the eve of the fall season, I would by no means be able to identify what kind of apple will grow on the tree. Come the following harvest, I now see the evidence of what was taking place under the bark of the tree. Behold a Macintosh! If indeed the DNA of the seed was to produce the Macintosh apple.
In much the same way we can look at our lives in Christ. 1 Peter 1:23 says " Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God..." So like the apple, we have a certain DNA within us. It is the seed of Christ, the Word of God. It will only produce certain identifying properties such as righteousness, holiness, love, and more that we can find in 1 Corinthians 13. All incorruptible fruits that are reproduced in us from an incorruptible God, by his incorruptible seed, Jesus Christ. The seed of Christ does not crossbreed. Light will not mix with darkness, nor righteousness with unrighteousness. 
Unfortunately we see much of this attempt in the Christian church today. An attempt to breed the Word of God with the opinions and appetites of men. An attempt to crossbreed the flesh and the Spirit. We have surely reaped the confusion of this attempt rather than bringing forth the pure fruit that God expects to find when he comes to harvest. Amazing that most denominations claim to use the same bible, but are not bearing the same fruits. We have established a sort of Baskin Robbins-31 flavor style church. If we like this sin, we can find a church to condone it. If we like that lifestyle, we can surely find a church to rally around us.
In John 15, the vine is Jesus and we are His branches. When the Father comes looking for the fruit what will he find? That is an individual answer for each of us. We can be sure that what He will be looking for is the virtue and character of Jesus in all of those that bear His name. It must be Christ in us. Can we look at ourselves and say that old things are passed away or are we still living as the old man? Do we know the victory of overcoming this world or are we chocked out by it? There is so much more to say on this point, but I think this will suffice. May God help us to judge ourselves rightly that we may surrender all to Him.
