We will be continuing our thought of being deceived. In a time when so many are deceived and God tells us to not be deceived. He is warning us to pay attention! To keep our eyes open! To not follow the way of those who do not know Jesus the Messiah.
Sometimes there is confusion as many Christians are focusing their attention on heaven. While that is a good thing, we should focus more of our attention on where we will be spending eternity. God also wants us to focus on living here on earth. The Word of God, The Holy Bible, gives us many principles for living a happy, healthy, productive live.
Galatians 6:7-9 says Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap if we faint not.
The principle of sowing and reaping is illustrated throughout the Bible. This concept teaches that the actions we take and the attitudes we display will ultimately return to us. For example, when we choose to sow generosity into the lives of those around us, we can expect to receive an abundance of generosity in return from others. This reflects a spiritual law established by God, emphasizing that our behavior and the seeds we plant—whether good or bad—have lasting consequences.
If we sow an unforgiving spirit, we can expect to receive unforgiveness, If we sow an unfriendly attitude we can expect to have few friends, if we are unhelpful to others we can expect little help from others in our time of need, if we sow a critical or judgmental attitude we can expect the same in return.
The same is true if we so kindness we will receive kindness, if we so unforgiveness we can expect others will show forgiveness to us, if we sow generosity, we know people will be generous toward us in return.
God established this principle, of sowing and reaping and it cannot be changed. If you believe in and follow Christ or if you do not, this principle will still follow your life. God is not mocked. What he established will be consistent for all.
We can have the ability to choose what our future will look like by the actions we take here today.
