anatomy 101
Today, I’ve been told a great news!!! Something that blew me off my seat and really gave revelation on the Word of God. Do you remember, if I told you all before, that the Word of God (Bible) is full of mysteries and wonders? And the words are not just superficial as you think it is. There is always a deeper and greater meaning to every word spoken by God.
Today, a church leader shared something so great to us, about human body. Everyone one studied before that our body is make up of cells, proteins. OUr body is made up of proteins. So, all the cells need to lie down somewhere..like a foundation, right? It is called basal lamina. If we try to arrange something together, and we want to make sure they dont fall apart, we need a something that can hold them together, right? A glue, or string..etc…agree? Well, same with our cells. There must be something that holds our cell together to make them into tissues and organs.
What holds our cells together?? Laminin. here is what I found about laminin.
Laminin is the major non-collagenous component of the basal lamina, such as those on which cells of an epithelium sit. Basically, laminin is a protein found in the “extracellular matrix”, the sheets of protein that form the substrate of all internal organs also called the “basement membrane”. It has four arms that can bind to four other molecules. The three shorter arms are particularly good at binding to other laminin molecules, which is what makes it so great at forming sheets. The long arm is capable of binding to cells, which helps anchor the actual organs to the membrane.
Important substance? My leader had a very funny illustration, he said, if there wasn’t this thing that holds the cell, all the cells in the body will mix up, the kidney cells will be found in the heart, the heart cells will be found in your lungs…the whole body will be like a soup..everything mix together. aaha…that is not the point.
Well, now we know, that laminin holds our cells together, binds the cell together to form tissues and organs and finally us, human body! Aren’t you all excited to see how this great structure that God has created looks like??

Laminin’s molecular structure is a CROSS. Exactly like what was written in the Word of God in Colossians 1:17 And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together). (amplified bible)
I am speechless right now, as I write this post. In Him, all things consist!! In NIV version it says, In him all things hold together. How real is the word of God??? Christ is in us, Christ is in every single cell, holding us together!!!! AMEN!
All I can do now, is PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!
It’s from a sermon by Louie Giglio. Please, take 10 minutes to view this video. it’s less than 10 minutes but it will change your life!!! You think you cant do much with 10 minutes, but God can do great things with just tat small minutes you give to Him. With just a small decision, small thing, God is able to bring a BIG impact to your life!!
p/s:for those sutdying with me, you can ask me to send u the video thru WC.
