What you Sow, You Reap

Success is a result of hard work, a well determined plan and an outcome of much efforts.
Those who fail, fail not only because they haven't tried their best, but they haven't yet understood the will of God. If its to help them understand God's will for their lives they should accept it as it is and not to self pity and go down.



Galatians 6:7 ►
Parallel Verses
New International Version
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.


Paul writing to Galatians say that, To do Good is our duty - helping someone to come to the understanding of Christ is our responsibility, We need to be aware of the fact that we should not be tempted or else we may also fall into it, but rather we should help them and work our own salvation - Not comparing yourself with others.

In verse 7 Paul says God cannot be mocked, if we think that what we are doing is good, but if it is with a wrong motive, God will show us - Because God knows everything. It is where Paul also says A man reaps what he sows.


Galatians 6

New International Version (NIV)

Doing Good to All

Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load. Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

Ecclesiastes 10:10

New International Version (NIV)
10 If the ax is dull
    and its edge unsharpened,
more strength is needed,
    but skill will bring success.

Matthew 5:4 ►
Parallel Verses
New International Version

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Psalm 126:5

English Standard Version (ESV)
Those who sow in tears
    shall reap with shouts of joy!

Proverbs 24:10-12

English Standard Version (ESV)
10 If you faint in the day of adversity,
    your strength is small.
11 Rescue those who are being taken away to death;
    hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.
12 If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,”
    does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it,
    and will he not repay man according to his work?

2 Corinthians 9:6-14

English Standard Version (ESV)

The Cheerful Giver

The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves acheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. As it is written,
“He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor;
    his righteousness endures forever.”
10 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. 12 For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God. 13 By their approval of this service, they will glorify God because of your submission that comes from your confession of the gospel of Christ, and the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others, 14 while they long for you and pray for you, because of the surpassing grace of God upon you.

HAVE A GREAT AND BLESSED DAY AHEAD
