Gal 6:7 Do not deceive yourself, for God is not despised, for whatever a man sows he will also reap 6:8 He who sows to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but whoever sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. Lira 6:9 Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
There are many laws in the world. The law of gravity, the law of universal gravitation, the law of inertia, etc. Just as 1 and 1 add up to make 2, God created the world with laws. That is why the world is orderly and without chaos.
The Bible also has rules. That's the saying, 'You reap what you sow.' In the autumn harvest, you will reap something. If you sow beans, you will reap beans, and if you sow red beans, you will reap red beans. What you sow in the first place will determine what you will reap. If you plant an apple with seeds, you can't get a watermelon. If you want to harvest a watermelon, it's a natural thing to sow watermelon seeds in the first place.
The Bible tells us that if you want to reap eternal life, you must sow eternal life, and if you want to reap destruction, you must sow destruction. So, how does the Bible express the sowing of eternal life? It is said that you sow for the Spirit, and that you reap eternal life by the Spirit. On the other hand, the road to destruction refers to planting for the flesh.
Those who live for the flesh will surely perish. It says that only you are the masters of the world, and those who live for their own glory, whether eating or drinking, will surely perish. The one who owns the world alone, who lives for himself and for his family, with all his thoughts and all his hopes, is the one who lives for the flesh.
Do you want to reap eternal life? Then let's buy for the Holy Spirit. Living for the Holy Spirit can sometimes be frustrating and difficult in this world. No, it is difficult. The world wants the physical, but God wants the spiritual, not the physical.
You cannot sow sin and reap righteousness. You cannot sow the flesh and reap the Spirit. You cannot sow perdition and gain eternal life.
I hope that the members' families will reap 'only good things' during the harvest. For that, it is important what you planted in the first place.
Sow seeds for the Holy Spirit in the field of life where the saints live. Whatever we eat or drink, let us sow only the seeds for the Holy Spirit. Even if you cannot reap it on this earth, you will surely reap it in heaven. When we stand before God, can we not go empty-handed? Let's hope to stand before the Lord with both hands full of the fruit of the Holy Spirit.
