“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.” Galatians 6:7
Most Christians are familiar with this verse; even many non-Christians! This is what we call “a Universal Maxim”. In today’s world, the farmer plants a certain seed, and then, with all other needs like water, sunshine, etc. taken into consideration, can expect to reap accordingly. Ask any farmer, and they will give an affirmation to that Reality. It is a Law of Nature! Paul is using this Maxim to illustrate something that applies to Every Man, Woman, Boy, or Girl. It has to do with our relationship (or lack thereof) with God and that Fruit we all will eventually Reap!
But in this spiritual realm, have we truly grasped what Paul is saying here? Even he states, “Do not be deceived” lending itself to the very possibility that…WE MAY BE! He also adds, “God is not mocked” to emphasize the Seriousness of it. This is NOT a generalization. IT…IS…TRUE!!! What’s at stake? Eternity! The one (who may even think they are safe) who sows to the flesh WILL reap Destruction. There is only One Road that leads to Salvation. It is Narrow and involves sowing to the Spirit. As Paul says, “Do not be deceived”!
