Bible Question: what does it mean where it says in the bible, you reap what you sew |
Bible Answer: hi welcome to the forum. The idea is taken from Gal 6.7 ff. It concerns our attitude of heart and our resulting response and the consequence of them in our eternal destiny. Those who sow to the flesh, that is those who live for the things of this world, and who consequently do not truly respond to Christ, will as a consequence reap corruption and destruction. Those who sow to the Spirit, that is those who truly respond to Christ and receive the Holy Spirit so that He might direct their lives, and who consquently come to know Christ better and do good (verse 9) will reap eternal life. Best wishes |
