AMPLIFIED 2015 | Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked [He will not allow Himself to be ridiculed, nor treated with contempt nor allow His precepts to be scornfully set aside]; for whatever a man sows, this and this only is what he will reap. |
Subject: Retribution? |
Bible Note: Hi Val! No I don't. Retribution/vengeance speaks to act of rewarding (and where it applies to God the rewarding is always just). Reaping speaks to the receivers receiving of the reward (good or bad). Sowing speaks to the behavior of the receiver/reaper that earns the reward. Is this helping???? God bless, Jeff |
