The law of sowing and reaping

There is a saying that reads as follows: The one who kills iron, dies iron. This famous and well-known Spanish proverb speaks about the reciprocity of life, that is to say; that everything we do is returned to us, as they say there: "What you do, you pay". This saying points to the teaching about what man sows that same harvest based on the following biblical passage:

Don't deceive yourselves; God cannot be mocked: for whatever a man sows, that will also reap. Galatians 6:7 ~ Holy Bible Queen Valera 1960.

This verse begins by expressing the following: "Do not deceive yourselves; God cannot be mocked" and it is that the human being believes that God is taken from the beard as they colloquially say, we think that we can do and undo without taking into account the justice and righteousness of God. Who is that who has managed to mock God with his wrongdoing? I believe that there is no human being who has done such a thing, everything in this life is paid and sometimes with a very high price, this is why we must analyze very well before acting. When we believe we are deceiving God, what we are doing is self-deception.

The verse in question goes on to say: "Paul used the law of nature as a metaphor to teach clearly and precisely what happens on the spiritual plane, that is, we all know that any seed sown in fertile soil will bear fruit according to its species, example if you sow pumpkin seeds obviously that the fruit of the tree that is born will be pumpkins and so on, do not pretend to sow pumpkin seeds and expect to harvest apples, the same happens on the spiritual plane, everything that man sows that will reap will reap apples, the same happens on the spiritual plane, everything that man sows that will reap will be harvested by him, that is, we all know that any seed sown in fertile soil will bear fruit according to its species, example if you sow pumpkin seeds obviously that the fruit of the tree that is born will be pumpkins and so on, do not pretend to sow pumpkin seeds and expect to reap apples, the same happens on the spiritual plane, everything that man sows that is sown that will reap that will reap.

Whether or not you are a Christian, all you sow you will reap is a law of God and of life. If you spend your life sowing seeds of hatred, you will reap the same; if you sow bitterness, you will reap the same. If you kill another person, they will do the same to you; if you sow evil, the evil will break down to you. Likewise, if you sow love, justice, help, peace, generosity, tolerance, solidarity and more, all of this will be returned to you.

Another important point to keep in mind is that the amount of fruit you harvest is not the same as the amount you sow, that is, following the same example: If you sow a few pumpkin seeds, the tree will be born and will give you many pumpkins, not just one, but many. Understanding this; if you sow a pinch of evil there is! Poor you, evil will not depart from you until you repent. Bearing in mind that every sin committed deliberately having already known of Christ and repentance is given, God forgives the sin plus the consequences thereof you will still have to pay. On the other hand, if you sow a pinch of good; the blessings upon your life will be overflowing.

Let us see through the word the veracity of this law of shadow and harvest.

Jacob, to obtain the firstling from his father Isaac. He deceived him by pretending to be his brother Esau, who according to the law had the blessing of being the first to be born. After this event, Jacob flees from his brother who sought and persecuted him to kill him. Then, some time later, he arrives at his relative Laban and falls in love with Rachel, but on the day he had to take her as his wife, Laban deceived him, not by giving her Rachel but Lea, his sister.

Jacob sowed deceit and harvested the same.

Amman, General of the Army of King Ahasuerus. He had prepared a gallows for Mordecai, Esther's uncle, to die on. When the plan he had against the King and the Jews was discovered, he was hanged on the gallows he had ordered to be made.

Amman sowed evil and harvested evil.

Having known all this dear friend, it is necessary to sow good things, sow in the spirit to reap blessings and eternal life as the Word says. Discard the seeds of ear, grudge, evil and sow love, forgiveness, help, contribution and each of these good things to your life will be rewarded.

GOD BLESS YOU.
