Galatians 6. As ye Sow, So Shall Ye Reap

Galatians 6. As ye Sow, So Shall Ye Reap

Galatians 6:8:

“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.”

Galatians 6:8 in my own words:

If we choose to do harmful things to our bodies, like use harmful substances, or view pornography, or engage in immoral acts, we will reap, or suffer corruption to our bodies, and give up our salvation. But, if we make healthy choices for our bodies, obey the commandments, and follow the promptings of the Spirit we will obtain salvation and everlasting life.

Elder Dallin H. Oaks said, “If we indulge in drugs or pornography or other evils that the Apostle [Paul] called sowing to the flesh, eternal law dictates that we harvest corruption rather than life eternal. That is the justice of god, and mercy cannot rob justice. If an eternal law is broken, the punishment affixed to that law must be suffered. Some of this can be satisfied by the Savior’s Atonement, but the merciful cleansing of a soiled sinner comes only after repentance (see Alma 42:22-25), which for some sins is a prolonged and painful process” (“Be Not Deceived,” Ensign, Nov. 2004, 45).
