Spiritual DNA

I have mentioned spiritual DNA earlier in my blog, but it was brief so I wish to reiterate and explain in more depth.

Natural DNA that all organisms’ cells contain is a blueprint for most every internal mechanism the cell needs to survive. Many people possess the misconception that DNA continually and forever dictates the function of the cell. That’s like saying a blueprint for a building exerts absolute control over the contractor who’s using it. This is obviously false. DNA can become rewritten or even damaged by certain environmental factors. The control center of the cell is really the cell membrane, which can be adjusted – if one only knows how – to allow or disallow certain things to enter or exit the cell, but I won’t be going into that – at least not now.

Spiritual DNA – if you’ve read other posts in my blog, you probably know how much I like symbolism – functions in the exact same way, though I myself do not refer to it as a blueprint but rather as a law. There are of course different kinds of laws, the law that is written inside the hearts of fallen, wicked men is the law of sin (death) and the law that is written in the hearts of those whom God has redeemed is the law of love and liberty (life).

This law of life is the Word of God people often hear referred to in church and in the Bible. Most people think that the Word of God is the Bible, but that’s the written word of God, not the living Word. The word found in the Bible comes alive when the Holy Spirit is allowed to flow through it and you, writing those words in your heart and not just on paper (2 Cor 3:3). Of course, don’t think that I wish to discredit the Bible to any extent; it is of course one of the most powerful tools God uses to inspire, teach, and convict people’s hearts, the single most powerful one in written form. That anyone would try to discredit or diminish it in any way would be a repugnant atrocity. Just keep in mind what Jesus himself said (in John 5:39) about the scriptures: “They are they which testify of me.”

Jesus was and is the quintessential word of God, the law of life incarnate, and it is by the same Spirit which kept him on his Holy path that we can receive that law into our hearts. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God” is what the Bible says (in 2 Tim 3:16). If one were to bother to look into the original translation, the phrase “inspiration of God” really means “God-spirited” which is a direct indicator as to what one needs to give or receive the living Word of God, written in one’s heart.

Well, that’s all I have to say on that subject, but I hope I’ve “inspired” you (or at least made you use your brain). Until next time, God bless!
