God Defines Greek Verb 2198 Zao

English “a living” emboldened in 1Peter 2:4 was translated from Greek verb 2198 zao that means to make spiritually alive subsequent to the permanent endowment of God’s spirit [Greek neuter noun 5486 charisma] as opposed to [Greek feminine noun 5485 charis] that is God’s temporary bestowment of God’s spirit to facilitate the parable of the seed sower. Luke 8:11 in Jesus’ words says “Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God” and Luke 8:9-11 segregates Luke 8:1-7 from Luke 8:12-18 in the sense that Luke 8:1-7 & 18 are representative of the world while Luke 8:9-18 is representative of Jesus’ disciples. God has explained the parable of the seed sower in many prior bibletruthuncovered.com posts that you can find with a simple “sower” search but I will reiterate God’s explanation as briefly as I can as follows: God temporarily bestows his Spirit [Greek feminine noun 5485 charis] at a time of God’s choosing and casts his words of spiritual truth and ways unto earth. Those who change God’s words in deference to their own flesh thoughts and feelings are immediately removed from God’s process pursuant to God’s will and God’s Spirit is rescinded from them to protect them from Matthew 12:32 pursuant to Ephesians 1:10 1Timothy 2:3-4 and Romans 8:19-21. This process lasts only seconds in people returning to their pew from an alter call. Those who change their flesh thoughts and feelings in deference to God’s spiritual thoughts and ways until they either fail God’s test or God executes the permanent endowment of God’s Spirit [Greek neuter noun 5486 charisma] pursuant to Ephesians 1:10 1Timothy 2:3-4 and Romans 8:19-21.
