It’s simple…you harvest that which you plant!For context ...
For context Romans 614 says that I’m not under the law under grace. The verse speaks about dominion and that the law of the flesh has dominion over me and makes me subject to its ways…its ways and its consequences.
The law is a legal, binding agreement that exacts a legal precedent over its subjects…the of the flesh brings about the legal precedents of the flesh, including its rewards and consequences. The same is true with the law of grace, living under the dominion of grace I will live under the rewards and consequences of grace.
Galatians 6:8 speaks to these laws a bit further in that there is the law of the flesh and the law of the spirit. The law of the flesh brings about destruction and the law the spirit brings about life.
It’s quite simple…to sow and to reap simply means that whatever it is that I sow or plant I will harvest. If I plant the law of the flesh, my harvest will lead to death and destruction, that which is withering away and will not last. However if I sow that which is if the Spirit (if I sow grace and love) then I will harvest the forever life of God whose rewards are joy, thanksgiving, cheer…eternal life.
What am I sowing in my life? I used to spread a whole lot of sin and destruction with my choices…I want my life to be about that forever life of God that brings about joy, thanksgiving, love and grace!
