"Do not be deceived, God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please The Spirit, from The Spirit will reap eternal life." Galatians 6:7-8 (NIV)
In giving guidance to the Galatian Christians, the Apostle Paul told them that whatever they sow, that is what they will reap. If all they do is sin, then their sins will destroy them. Only those who's efforts are to please The Holy Spirit will enjoy the benefits of eternal life.
The choices and the lifestyle that we lead will determine how we will spend eternity. As we sow, so shall we also reap. When we continue to follow our sinful desires, what are we saying to God? How can we truly love Him and continually disobey Him? It is time for some serious reflection and alteration of our behavior. Don't just read the Bible, live it and do what it teaches.
