Galatians 6:7b ... for whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap.
In
the summertime, that which was sown in autumn or early in the year is
reaped, and that which was planted always comes forth. If grain was planted,
then weeds will not come forth but rather grain. Just like it is in the
natural realm, so is it the same in the spiritual realm. If a person sows
good things, he will reap good things, but whoever sows bad things will
also reap such a harvest. The measurement of what is good or bad is set
by God. Many people are content with themselves and the opinion which
others have about them. They do not ask what God thinks about them. They
spread evil or scatter the seeds of humanism and human wisdom ("seemingly
good seeds") and will end up reaping chaff and tares, because they
despised the good seeds, the Word of God. Although they sow bad seeds,
they nevertherless often continue to live successfully, however, the harvest
will eventually come in the end. Ecclesiastes 8:11 Because the sentence
against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of
the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
The individual who scatters these seeds and lets them grow in his life
has his reward: 1. Peter 1:23 having been born again, not of corruptible
seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides
forever. Watch out that good things are planted in your heart and
are growing, then you will also sow good seeds as a result. Do not be
deceived by the world which says that something is good, whereas, the
Word of God says it is evil. The Bible, the measuring stick of God, is
that what solely counts. By their fruits you shall know them. (Matthew
7:20) ra
