ISB ~ Galatians 6 v7 - 9

The principle of sowing and reaping is an inflexible law of the spiritual life (Job 4:8; Jer 17:10). Just as farmers invariably harvest the same crop they planted, so every thought, word, and deed sown in this life has a consequence that springs directly from it in the next. Those who sow in the Spirit will reap holiness and heavenly glory; those who sow in the flesh can expect nothing but death and decay. Since Paul speaks of a lifetime of well-doing, patience and perseverance are needed to see the fruit of our labors (Mt 24:13; Rom 2:6-7; Heb 3:14).
