Sometimes when we are studying the word of God we can get into the habit of isolating verses out, away from their context, and thus not really understand what is being said. Here in the first 6 verses of Chapter 6, we have seen that the context has been restoring a brother who has been overtaken in a trespass. In doing so, those who are spiritual need to consider themselves and how they are living the Christian life. Are you helping to bear the burdens of other Christians in the local church, of which hopefully you are a member? How can you effectively fulfill the law of Christ if you are not engaged in this holy duty of helping to bear another Christian’s burdens? In verse 7, then, we find a related matter; another exhortation and a principle for all Christians to take notice of. It is that we should not be deceived, that God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. So, this evening we want to look 1st of all, at the possible deception that can come to a Christian; a deception which mocks God. Then, 2nd, we want to look at the principle of sowing to the flesh; a principle which reaps corruption. And then 3rd, we want to look at the principle of sowing to the Spirit; a principle which will, of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
