Let us invest in heaven (Fourth part)
Verse of the day: Galatians 6:7 “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows”
Today we will discover that the law of sowing and reaping applies in all areas of life and not only for money.
I found out that in Christian churches they only talk about sowing and reaping when it’s about money (tithes and offerings) but it is a principle established by God in all areas of life.
I think that this is the reason why the verse starts by “Do not be deceived…” because many deceive themselves (consciously or unconsciously) with wrong thinking just to console themselves or to cover (sometime to justify) their wrong actions. That is why the verse continues in saying: “God cannot be mocked…”. Even if we try to justify our wrong actions, they won’t change their nature. If we release a phone in the air, it will definitely fall whether we like it or not because it is affected by the law of gravity which causes objects to fall toward the centre of the earth.
Likewise, God has established a principle from which we reap what we sow. Talking about principles and laws, I should precise that God has given us all commandments for our goodness and not His. We have all passed through the time when we used to struggle to get a better and godly life in order to please God while in reality He recommends it to us for our own goodness.
If someone does wrong in sinning, he must expect to face consequences attached to that action and there is no way to escape it.
Even when we ask for forgiveness to God, we are promptly forgiven but the consequences are still there and we will face it. Sometime we see it immediately but we often do not notice it and we deceive ourselves in thinking that everything was passed unseen. God desires to avoid us those consequences when He warns us through His word. Whether we sin or not, God remains God and He won’t change anything to His own nature.
Concerning the heavenly account, we should supply it with our material possessions and our finances in order to be rescued when we will be in need and more, we will inherit our crown in heaven
