You Reap What You Sow

ByJames Langston

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Sowing and reaping is also a law of the spiritual world. It is more than just an agricultural principle. It is an axiom of life that we reap what we sow. Galatians 6:7 says, “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows”. There are natural consequences to our actions. Sowing and reaping is used as a metaphor for death and resurrection. When Paul discusses the doctrine of the resurrection of the body, he uses the analogy of planting a seed to illustrate physical death. “The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body” (1 Cor. 15:42b-44a). A seed may “die” when it falls to the ground, but that is not the end of its life (John 12:24). Found throughout Scripture, the idea of sowing and reaping is an important principle imparting wisdom for both this world and the next.
