God's work is deeply tied to the cycles of planting and harvesting, reflecting the natural seasons He has established. He plants seeds of belief and spiritual truth, imparting understanding to empower those who receive it to succeed in the same process that Jesus Christ completed. This process reveals what crop God seeks to harvest: children in His image. Just as a farmer prepares the soil, God disturbs and turns over hearts so the seed of truth can take root. He scatters this seed through His human servants, waters it with the Holy Spirit, and tends to its growth personally alongside His ordained helpers. The church plays a vital role in this, promoting belief and providing a conducive environment for the seed to mature through preaching truth. Thus, God's purpose unfolds in nurturing belief in His firstborn Son and in the spiritual birth process, aiming to gather sons who resemble Him in character.
