Galatians 6:6-13 - Sowing and Reaping

God is fundamentally just, and although we do not always see that justice meted out in this lifetime, we do often see the principle in action. We reap what we sow. Now what Paul is encouraging the Galatians to do is to invest in the kingdom of Christ, to invest in the gospel, to invest in eternity, to invest in the world to come. And that is the world to which we truly belong, is it not? Is it not true that we are strangers and pilgrims in this world? That our citizenship is in heaven?

Jesus said:

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.--Matthew 6:19-21

This is kingdom wisdom. This is how we live out our kingdom citizenship in this present age. And what Jesus says is absolutely true (of course)--where we put our treasure is where our heart is. So Paul is just echoing and amplifying Jesus.

Below you will find a link to the audio recording of a bible study we recently did on this text near the end of Paul's Epistle to the Galatians. I hope you will take the time to listen to it and be encouraged to live out your faith in every day live. May the word of God take root in your heart and produce much good fruit.
