"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will reap everlasting life."
Galatians 6:7-8 (NKJV)
The are some general principles in life that will always work no matter what. For example, every morning the sun will rise and every evening the sun will set. No matter what you think about it, no matter how you feel about, or what others might say about it, this is going to happen. In the same way, if you drop something it will travel downward, because of gravity; if you save and invest money you will end up with more money in the long run than you had when you started saving and investing your money. The things we sow in life, what we do, will produce results.
People often think of the principle of sowing and reaping only in connection with money, but it works in many different areas. The principle of sowing and reaping is something that God has established and no matter what people want to think about it, that principle is going to work. The Bible says that God is not going to be mocked concerning this principle. One Greek dictionary defines the Greek word used here for "mocked" as "to turn up the nose at". In other words, some people may think little of this, or even scoff at the principle of sowing and reaping, but it still works. What you reap is based on what you sow.
Galatians 6:7-8 talks about sowing and reaping, especially in the area of spiritual things. While this principle can be taken in a negative way with showing how people will reap bad results by sowing wrong actions, the positive side of this works just as well. As we spend time doing godly things others may look at us thinking we are wasting our time. But, God's standards and principles always work and we will reap rewards for the things we do. We may not always reap an instant harvest of what we have sown, but as we continue to follow the Word of God we will reap the positive consequences. As we carry out the will of God in our lives there will be rich rewards.
For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will reap everlasting life."
