We Shall All Reap What We Sow

To sow is to put seed into the ground, to plant.  To reap is to harvest. No one can plant one thing and reap something else. In Galatians 6:7 it is written,  “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” If one sows negative things, he will reap negative; if he sows  positive things, he will reap positive things. As children of God there  is need for us to watch what we do as God searches the heart, and gives to every one according to the fruits of their doing. – Jeremiah 17:10.

 

Spiritually, we all are accountable to God as said by St. Paul in Romans 14:12. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” – 2 Corinthians 5:10.

 

Men and women of old who served God with faith such as Abraham, Noah, David, Sarah, Phoebe, Mary were prospered by Him. – Hebrews 11:1-40. James 2:21-23.

 

We should sow good seeds by  supporting the evangelism work of the Church. No one should use the opportunity he has in the work of God for negative purposes but rather anyone given to evil should repent so as to be forgiven and be saved in the end. (2 Timothy 2:19-21) Certainly those who plow iniquity and sow wickedness, reap the same.  (Job 4:8; Proverbs 26:27; Galatians 6:8) But those who sow to the spirit by doing righteousness will reap in mercy. – Hosea 10:12; 2 Corinthians 9:6; Isaiah 3:10, 11.
