A Man Reaps What He Sows
Galatians 6:7-10
Introduction: Farming is honest. A farmer reaps what he sows. The land does not cheat us. If we plant beans, we will harvest beans. However, we think that the way we live our lives is different. But God tells us that the law of sowing and reaping is the same in our lives. It is impossible to deceive God. Whatever we sow in life we will harvest.
1. The law of sowing and reaping and the Garden of Eden
혻혻혻 1) Adam and Eve did not sow the Word of God
혻혻혻혻혻혻 - If they had done that, they would have lived happily forever. (Ge 2:17)
혻혻혻 2) Adam sowed the seed, the temptation of the devil - he reaped death,(Ge 3:19)
??failure, and despair.
혻혻혻 3) The devil intended to sow rebellion with the temptation of Jesus
??in the desert of Judea.
혻혻혻혻혻혻 (1) Why did God make His Son hungry? So, make this stone become
??bread and eat it. (Mt 4:3-4)
혻혻혻혻혻혻 (2) Since God did not make you famous, perform a miracle, using your
??power as His Son, and혻become famous (Mt 5-7)
혻혻혻혻혻혻 (3) God did not give you the splendor of all the kingdoms of the world,
??but I will give it to you if혻you bow down to me
혻혻혻혻혻혻혻혻혻혻 - The devil sowed the seed of temptation to make Jesus disappointed
??with God and rebel혻against Him, but Jesus would not accept it. (Mt 4:10)
2. Be careful what you sow
혻혻혻 1) If we sow greed, sin will grow, and we will reap death. The wages of greed is death.
??(Jas 1:15, Col 3:5-6)
??2) If we sow complaints and resentment, we will reap misfortune, failure, and
??disappointment. - Negative thinking, dreaming, believing, and speaking, results in
??a desert life (the Israelites)혻 (Nu 14:27-29, 11:1-2, 21:6)
혻혻혻 3) If we sow thanks and praise - our thinking, dreaming, believing, and speaking
??will be positive,혻flowing with milk and honey. (Mt 25:29, Php 4:;13, 6:-7)
3. The person whom God seeks
혻혻혻 - The person who gives thanks and praise to God in every circumstance
혻혻혻 1) King Saul and King David
혻혻혻혻혻혻 (1) Saul was filled with envy, jealousy, and rage, and God abandoned him.
혻혻혻혻혻혻혻혻혻혻 (He didn't write any psalm) (1 Sa 15:23, 19:1)
혻혻혻혻혻혻 (2) David gave God many psalms to praise Him, so he was called
???쏿 man after the heart혻of God??(Ac 13:21-22)
혻혻혻 2) Paul and Silas praised God even in prison
혻혻혻혻혻혻 - The apostle Paul suffered bitterly while he preached the Gospel
??????(2Co 11:23-29, Ac 16:25-26))
혻혻혻 3) Count your blessings and give thanks for everything - giving thanks blesses God.
(Ps 100:4, 50:23, Rev 1:5-6)
Conclusion: (Ps 37:1-2, 4)
When people sow evil and unrighteousness, they seem to flourish temporarily, but they are destroyed in the end. This has been proven throughout history and human experience. However, when people sow goodness, love, thanks, praise, devotion, and faithfulness, they reap a lot of blessings. We must not try to deceive God. He is never deceived, and He makes us reap what we sow.
