Galatians 6:7 (NKJV) 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
We teach on this verse frequently. This is a critically-important Biblical truth that we need to understand if we are to be mature believers. And if we’re not yet mature, we really need to get this ingrained into our spirit so we understand that every choice we make has consequences.
If we are careless with our finances, we will always struggle financially. If we don’t handle relationships well, we will either always be in conflict with others or we will simply have no friends.
If we are sexually immoral, we will struggle with broken relationships, guilt, the fear of contracting diseases and constant emotional trauma.
If we are dishonest, we will always be distrustful of others, thinking that everyone else is also dishonest.
This principle applies to any and every aspect of our lives.
This is not meant to throw stones at anyone or single out specific sins. It’s just a gentle reminder that we need to be very careful about the choices we make in everything that we do.
Even the seemingly little things can have lasting consequences if we make the wrong choices.
So if we seem like we’re constantly struggling with a specific area, or multiple areas of our life, let’s ask God to show us where we’re going wrong and what it is we need to change.
God won’t slap us down or condemn us for admitting our faults. Quite the opposite. Read what His word says about this:
1 John 1:9 (NKJV) 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
So let’s confess these things before God and let Him help us to make the changes and adjustments that will keep us from making the same mistakes over and over again.
