Harvest Everlasting Life
Galatians 6:7–8

Galatians 6:7–8 (NLT) Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. 8 Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.
These verses contain both an encouraging truth and a stern warning. Even though you are saved by grace, there are still consequences to sin. If you continually sow to the flesh and live to satisfy sinful desires, you will reap corruption and destruction from that sinful way of living. God has established the principle that you will harvest what you plant.
This is why it is so important to take the Word of God seriously and walk in obedience to Him. God does not want you to experience the destruction that sin brings into your life. Instead, He calls you to live by the Spirit and pursue the things that please Him.
On the other hand, if you live to please the Spirit, you will experience the fruit of a life that walks closely with God. As you follow Him, He produces spiritual growth, joy, peace, and lasting purpose in your life. Make it your goal to live in a way that pleases God and trust Him to lead you into the life He desires for you. ~ Jeff M Newman
