9.What will the believer reap who is sowing the fruit of the Holy Spirit?

Eternal life in the form of a body like that of Christ.

The Bride of Christ will be clothed in her own righteous deeds. She is weaving her own garment now as she lives in the Spirit of God (Revelation 19:8).

Fleshly Christians also will be clothed in their own deeds. They too are weaving their own garment now as they are continuing in the lusts of their bodies.

Notice the following:

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be (Revelation 22:12).

There is no way of evading the law of sowing and reaping. When Jesus returns we shall be treated fairly and accurately according to our works while we lived on the earth.

The relationship between our conduct on earth and our condition at the coming of Christ needs to be emphasized in the day in which we are living. Christian people seem to be under the impression that all believers will be treated the same if they have made a profession of Christ. Such a belief is not scriptural. We will be given what our actions create.

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; (II Corinthians 4:17)
