REAP WHAT YOU SOW

Submitted by ub on

Living a lifetime sowing good seeds leads to positive outcomes, but sowing bad ones has negative consequences.

The last democratically held US election resulted in this and since POTUS Joe Biden has been in The White House, Americans have seen positive results.

The Bible teaches that if we sow to please our own sinful nature, we will reap corruption. This principle is emphasized in Galatians 6:8, which says, “Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”

The consequences of sowing bad seeds may not be immediate, but they will eventually catch up with us. For example, if we make poor choices in our relationships, such as lying or cheating, we may temporarily get away with it, but eventually, the truth will come out, and we will reap the negative consequences.

If we have previously sown wrongly and then turn to God, though we cannot escape from it totally, God will always help and strengthen us through the aftermath.

Finally, in Galatians 6:9, We are encouraged to persist in doing good and pursuing the fruits of the spirit. No matter how difficult it may be and the stubborn the opposition.
