imperishable seed

1 Peter 1:23-25

1 Peter 1:23 because you have been born again — not of perishable seed but of imperishable — through the living and enduring word of God.
1 Peter 1:24 Because everything mortal is like grass, and all its glory like a flower of the grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls,
1 Peter 1:25 but the word of the Lord endures permanently. And this word is the gospel that was proclaimed to you.

imperishable seed

Our first birth was from perishable seed; we were born mortal. Our new birth when we started believing God’s word was from imperishable seed. When our Lord retrurns to raise us, it will be with bodies that are just as eternal as God’s truth.
