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, NKJV
The fourfold folly here is...
- The folly of trying to deceive God
- The folly of expecting something different from what we sow
- The folly of sowing to the flesh and and expecting to reap of the Spirit
- The folly of expecting more or less than we sow
God is not deceived, but I truly believe many of us are! Our actions have consequences. If we live spiritually grounded lives, the consequence is spiritual reward. If my life is dominated by fleshly pursuits, my inner man follows the same course as the outer.......it passes away (2 Corinthians 4:16).
