God’s Laws of Harvest Galatians 6:7-9

Introduction When God created the Universe He formulated a set of laws to govern it. Fixed and Constant: e.g., gravity. For Our Good: God is not a “cosmic kill-joy” (1 Jn. 5:3). In this lesson we want to consider a “family” of God’s laws: “God’s Laws of Harvest.”

You Reap What Sow Physical reaping: Farmer who plants is the farmer who reaps the harvest. Spiritual reaping: Absolutely true: Gal. 6:7 Harvest is the souls of men: Jn. 4:35-36 Day of harvest is judgment day: 2 Cor. 5:10; Matt. 25:31-46; Rom. 14:12; Rev. 20:12-15; Acts 10:35; Rom. 2:5-10

You Reap in a Different Season From When You Sow Physical reaping: Farmers are the most patient and optimistic people on earth (Eccl. 3:1-2; Jas. 5:7-8). Spiritual reaping: Harvest always ultimately comes: Gal. 6:7-10 Our “deeds” are “seeds”! 2 Cor. 5:10; Rom. 14:10-12; Heb. 9:27

You Reap the Same Kind as You Sow Physical reaping: All farmers know corn yields corn, not soybeans or alfalfa (Gen. 1:11-22). Spiritual reaping: Jesus knew this: Matt. 7:16; Prov. 11:18; Eph. 6:8; Job 4:8 Jacob experienced it: Gal. 6:8 Day of harvest is judgment day: 2 Cor. 5:10 Vast majority ignore this harvest: Matt. 7:13-14; Deut. 29:18-20

You Reap More Than You Sow Physical reaping: One kernel of corn yields ~600 fold! Spiritual reaping: “good news, bad news”! Just ask the Jews: Hos. 8:7-8; Deut. 28; Isa. 17:11 Just ask David: Gal. 6:8; 2 Sam. 11-18 Some don’t understand it or believe it: Rom. 2:4-11

You Eat the Fruit of Your Harvest Physical reaping: Farmer’s reward is to eat of his harvest (2 Tim. 2:6). Spiritual reaping: How will your life “taste”? Isa. 3:10 A big bite of a sour apple?! Prov. 1:28-31; Lk. 12:16-21

Conclusion If God’s harvest came today; what would you reap? If you’re sowing “to…the flesh” you’ll “reap corruption” (Gal. 6:8). If you’re sowing “to the Spirit” you’ll “reap everlasting life” (Gal. 6:8). What are you sowing?
