I am often attracted to buy the cheaper item because of the price. I am often disappointed with the quality of those items. So, do I learn? Not really, because the cheaper price is always tempting. There is a saying, “You get what you pay for!”
Paul speaks to us in Galatians 6 about putting our energy into the thing that will last and the thing that is good. The Holy Spirit promises us eternal life as we live for Him.
“For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption,
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap,
everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.”
Galatians 6:8-10, ESV.
In the previous verse, Paul reinforced the universal principle that people reap what they sow in life. Job said something similar, “As I have seen, those who plough iniquity and sow trouble reap the same” (Job 4:8). The crops we get will be decided by the seed we put in the ground. In other words, natural cause and effect still applies, both to the Christian and to the unbeliever.
Paul now clarifies this principle of sowing and reaping, in the context of the Spirit of God. Paul has demonstrated in his letter that it is possible to “sow to the flesh,” meaning to invest our lives in serving ourselves.
Eternal life is only available through the power of God’s Spirit. Those who “sow to the Spirit” in that they are trusting Christ for salvation and receiving God’s Spirit will receive eternal life.” By Bible Ref.
