Don't be deceived

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. - Galatians 6.7-8

It is stunning sometimes to see how many people are going through life with a ‘devil may care’ attitude about their lives. Mankind can deceive himself into thinking that it all going to be okay and that everything is sure to work out in the end. 

But the world can't get away with it forever. God is not going to be mocked. If a person spends their life of sowing the flesh the result is going to be that they will reap eternal corruption. It just makes sense, man mocks God when he takes God for granted or ignores Him. God won't be mocked. 

On the other hand those who sow of the Spirit will of the Spirit eternal life. 

What we sow is a reflection of who we are. No one, no matter how good we are we cannot sow the things of the Spirit unless we have the Spirit. 

It seems like we live in a world that is full of mockery of God, but one day it will tragically be over. Praise God that  he loves his mockers enough that He will save any who turn to Him.
