THE LAW OF SOWING AND REAPING June 4, 2000 UNDERSTAND THIS! WHEN GOD MADE MAN HE WAS MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD, WITH THE CAPACITY TO MAKE CHOICES ON AN ONGOING BASIS! THIS CAPACITY IS NOT REMOVED WHEN A PERSON IS SAVED! Genesis 1:26-31 This is why the apostle Paul admonishes the believers in Christ to submit this ability to the obedience of God. Romans 12:1-3 If a born again believer in Christ could not make choices in his life, he would not be held accountable before God. 2 Corinthians 5:7-11; 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 THE LAW OF SOWING AND REAPING Each believer in Christ must make choices on a daily basis, if a decision will lead to an action in the flesh or in the Spirit. Galatians 6:8 If you are employed by someone, that employment was determined by your education, experience and attitude. Thus your income was decided at the time when you began your education as a child. Your marriage is a direct result of what you have put into it during the years you have been married. Your eternal destination is determined only on this earth, once you have died it is too late. John 1:12-13; 3:1-8; Hebrews 3:7-19; 9:27 FAITH AND ENDURANCE WILL BRING A HARVEST IN CHRIST Paul is telling us that in due season we shall reap - Galatians 6:9 Noah had to BELIEVE THAT HE WAS IN GOD’S WILL - Hebrews 11:7 Abraham had to believe he was in God’s will - Hebrews 11:8-10 Sarah had to believe that someday she was going to conceive - Hebrews 11:11 By faith Abraham was willing to sacrifice Isaac - Hebrews 11:17-19 By faith Jacob, Joseph, Moses endured ..... Hebrews 11:21-29 HOW WE SHOULD LIVE FOR JESUS ON A DAILY BASIS We are to be comforted by the Word of God and to REJOICE EVERMORE! 1 Thessalonians 5:1-28 Do you have an ear with which to hear ?
