“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 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.” Galatians 6:7-8 NIV
Paul is talking to the Church at large in South Galatia in this letter and he was very familiar with them. He helped to form these churches and the members are not matured followers at this point. This letter has a stern tone to it because he is concerned that the members of the church are moving away from Jesus. In these verses, he tells them to not be deceived. False teachers were leading them to believe that they could deceive God and do what they wanted in their flesh and not have to deal with the consequences.
Paul makes it clear that just as a farmer who plants a seed of corn cannot expect wheat to grow, that what a man sows in his heart, he will reap. He also wanted them to understand, as they had before the false teachers were influencing them, that with sowing fleshly desires comes destruction. It is with sowing the desires of the Spirit that they reap eternal life.
As we go about our day, would you please look at what you what you end up reaping from what you are sowing in this life.
