Sowing and reaping
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. (Galatians 6:7-8-NIV)
Is Paul speaking of Christians? Is it true that a Christian can sow to his flesh and then in the Day of Resurrection reap eternal life, as long as he or she "stands in grace"?
Do you dare say yes or no? I wish Christians, especially pastors and teachers, would say yes or no to such direct questions. Maybe we could get off dead centre if they would!
The principle of reaping what we sow is an immutable law of the Kingdom of God. It cannot be abrogated without leaving a path of destruction. Divine grace does not violate the Kingdom principle of sowing and reaping. Rather grace helps us change from sowing to the flesh to sowing to the Spirit of God so we can reap eternal life. Eternal life is the Life of God. It is a kind of life that we reap, not a legal state in which we exist forever.
Did The Lord Jesus say anything else about fruitbearing?
