The Planting of the Lord

We are all seeds. 

"We are the planting of the Lord."

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

John 12:24

You have to die to the flesh to bring forth the spiritual.

If you be dead to self and alive in the spirit you will bring forth of the spirit.

The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.

We have to be "planted by the Lord" because it's His seed within us that grows. 
Again, "We are the planting of the Lord."

When God goes to all the trouble of planting us we will not grow 

unless we die to self.
