1Pet.1:23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever. 1:24 For, "All flesh is like grass, and all of man's glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls; 1:25 but the Lord's word endures forever."{Isaiah 40:6-8} This is the word of Good News which was preached to you.
Here the apostle Peter makes a striking contrast with human flesh comparing it against incorruptible imperishable life of Christ Jesus, as God's Word. In other words, these brothers and sisters received a gift not of this earth, they did not receive a gift from their knowledge of God, or their goodness, nor their religion, but from a spirit world where Christ rules as the King of Eternity. Christ being made into the exact representation of his Father/ YHWH, very being, after his resurrection! Their corrupted flesh under the sin, and its laws, had been implanted with a seed of incorruptibility from the life of Christ from heaven, and not earth.
Heb.1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.
John 1:14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Is this not Good News that they could each one know God by this implanted seed understanding the mind of God through the mind of Christ the seed indwelling them with eternal life? Was this not a taste of heaven where peace excels all thoughts of fleshly turmoil, and peace becomes our overseer? Yes, the witnesses of eternal life sown into mere green grass which fades into corruption, and death back to dust from which its came, like a beautiful flower fallen to the ground that no one gives anymore attention too.
Peter making a striking contrast for these brothers and sisters into not being fooled by corruptible earthly things, in not letting their thoughts, and goals be that of the nations, in trying to preserve corruptible things into eternity, they will not last, but the Word of God will. Hence, they are a part of the incorruptible life of God's Word, Christ Jesus.
1 John 5:7 For there are three who testify{Only a few recent manuscripts add "in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that testify on earth"}:
This is the work which endures forever, not their works of the flesh. This is the seed sown into their very sinful flesh, the witness of truth, the Word of God that does not lie. They must trust in eternity, trust in their calling, reject the lying flesh, struggling for this life, remember soon the flower fades falling to the ground and nobody cares!
James 5:1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming on you. 5:2 Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten. 5:3 Your gold and your silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days.
