Reaping
Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.
Galatians 6:7 ESV
https://bible.com/bible/59/gal.6.7.ESV
'Sow a thought; reap an action. Sow an action; reap a habit. Sow a habit; reap a character. Sow a character; reap a destiny.'
We can sow to our fleshy desires- greed, lust, anger, covetousness etc. If we do so however, we will reap spiritual weeds and end up in hell. Alternatively, we can bear the fruit of the Spirit- love, joy, peace etc. If we do we will enjoy eternal life.
Salvation isn't to do with what we do. Yet what we do illustrates whether we're truly saved. If we are truly saved, we will be transformed.
Salvation doesn't make us perfect overnight. Yet it will change us for the better. It is God's work, so there's no room for boasting.
'Father God, please help us to sow according to Your Holy Spirit rather than our sinful desires. And so may we reap an eternally fruitful harvest. In Christ's name we pray, amen'
