Galatians 6:7-8 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap.… I. The SPIRITUALITY of the work. 1. The spirit requires moral cultivation. In its unregenerate state its ground is fallen; it is a wilderness, full of the germs of evil. 2. The spirit is capable of moral cultivation. Facts show this: what moral changes have taken place in human nature: read the history of Paul. II. The ETERNITY of the work. 1. The soil is everlasting. 2. The seed is everlasting: we are sowing for eternity. 3. The uniformity of the work. (1) Of kind. The kind you sow you will reap. (2) Of amount. If little, reap little. All this is ensured by the laws of causation, habit, memory, retribution. Every deed is a seed sown in our nature, either good or evil, and according to the seed will be the harvest. (D. Thomas, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.WEB: Don't be deceived.
