ithat shall he also reap" A most simple and natural lawnecessary,
_ic would think, in the nature of [things. And yet, men live on, arid sow on, arid hope somehow tnat this law will not , apply to them. But it does.
And that which we reap is not only of the same kind, bur the amount is largely increased. Sow5, one grudge, and you have harvest of trudges; sow one evil \ thought.'and you shave a harvest of evil thoughts sow one sin of any kind, find you have a harvest of sins. Oh the other, hand, each
act of obedience, of self-denial, of kindness—jmd you have prepared the way for many more. '*
Arid5 this is airways tbeapplication of thit law: that if^we sow things which are based upon our own self-interest, our own convenience arid comfort; if we judge value in terms of things materialistic—then, by the* very nature of this law ojf “sowing and reaping,’’ tl^t whichi is temporal will wither and be gathered up, and cast aside.
But if we expect to reap the harvest of those things rich and lasting, then we must sow that which is eternal. And those things ' arc spiritual. . . > - . "
This ^laiw is not true simply because Paul stated it. Rather, ' Paul stated k because it is true. And the God who created that
