  1. Seed- what we plant to receive a crop/harvest Harvest- what we receive from the seed we plant -Our heavenly harvest is eternal life. -Our earthly harvest are the consequences we face, negative or positive, from the actions we take. -ON EARTH: God gives us seed; NOT THE HARVEST! We must ask God for wisdom in handling our seeds. DON’T FORFEIT YOUR HARVEST

  2. 2 HINDERANCES TO REAPING A GODLY HARVEST (1.)Sowing the wrong kind of seeds. consequence: we reap an ungodly harvest (2.)Giving up before the manifestation of the harvest. consequence: someone else reaps the entire harvest from the seeds we’ve sown. WHY IS PAUL SAYING THIS TO THE GALATIANS? (1.)Paul founded these GENTILE churches and taught them faith alone in Jesus saves them. (2.)Judaizers have appeared in the absence of Paul, and discouraged these people by telling them that they have to keep the Jewish law to be saved. (3.)Paul writes to encourage them to get back onto the right path. DON’T FORFEIT YOUR HARVEST

  3. WHY IS PAUL SAYING THIS TO THE GALATIANS? (4.)It is easy to be discouraged when doing the right thing. -Paul encourages these believers because he doesn’t want them to forfeit their harvest (eternal life). -We must stay encouraged to reap our harvest (whatever we sow & THE GREAT HARVEST OF ETERNAL LIFE). VS.7 “Be not deceived, God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” -What kind of harvest do we want? -Are we sowing the right seeds to obtain this harvest? -We deceive ourselves when we sow one kind of seed & expect to reap another kind of seed. DON’T FORFEIT YOUR HARVEST

  4. VS.8 “For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” -What is sowing to the flesh? Living only to please self. -What is sowing to the spirit? Living to please God. -Living to please self brings corruption/destruction. -Living to please God brings LIFE. *We haven’t lived until desire to please God! *This requires faith (Hebrews 11:6)! VS.9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. -It is possible to grow weary when doing good. -We reap when we stay the course. -We faint not by waiting (serving) on God (Isaiah 40:31). DON’T FORFEIT YOUR HARVEST
