Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 6:7-10

In the End We must Face Up to the Consequences of our Behaviour (Galatians 6:7-10 ). Paul warns us all to remember that in the end we will have to give account for our behaviour. Walking with Christ is not a soft option that we can take or leave as we wish. It is the very evidence that we are truly His. For the test of the good seed is that it produces a hundredfold. read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 6:7-10

Galatians 6:7-2 Samuel : . Last safeguard: the natural law of God’ s universe stands. Those who propose to make the gospel of grace an excuse for laxity think they can laugh in their sleeves at the Creator, but “ You’ ve gut to git up airly Ef you want to take in God.” No sowing without reaping, and no reaping without sowing— one kind or the other; to flesh or to spirit. Patience only is needed in continuing to “ sow to the spirit” and to “ do well.” Galatians 6:10 returns in a broader way... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Galatians 6:7

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: this to terrify those who find out vain and false excuses to save their purses; he adviseth them not to cheat themselves, for though they might deceive men, yet they could not deceive the all-seeing and heart-searching God. For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap; further to encourage them to this communicating, he mindeth them, that what they distributed in this nature, was no more lost than the seed is which the husbandman casteth into the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Galatians 6:8

For he that soweth to his flesh; he that layeth out his estate, or spendeth his time and talents, for the gratifying of the flesh; shall of the flesh reap corruption; shall or may reap some carnal satisfaction, of a corruptible, dying, perishing nature. But he that soweth to the Spirit; but he who layeth out his estate, or spendeth his time, strength, talents, whatsoever God hath given him, for the glory of God, in obedience to the commands, motions, and dictates of the Spirit, or the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Galatians 6:6-10

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESGalatians 6:6. Communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.—Go shares with him in the good things of this life. While each bears his own burden he must think of others, especially in ministering out of his earthly goods to the wants of his spiritual teacher (see 2 Corinthians 11:7; 2 Corinthians 11:11; Philippians 4:10; 1 Thessalonians 2:6; 1 Thessalonians 2:9; 1 Timothy 5:17-18).Galatians 6:7. God is not mocked.—The verb means to sneer with the nostrils... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Galatians 6:7

Galatians 6:7 I. There is none to whom so much mockery is offered as God. Men walk on His earth and deny His existence. Others acknowledge His existence, but by their lives defy His power. Men come to His house of prayer, and there, amidst the rising accents of supplication and praise and the descending message of His word, they think of their farm and their merchandise, or follow in fancy their worldly desires. They go thence, and not a word of that which they have asked is remembered with a... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Galatians 6:7-8

Galatians 6:7-8 Deceived Sowers to the Flesh. I. The first thing which strikes us in the text is the solemnity of the Apostle's warning. He seems to intimate that such is the audacious wickedness of the human heart that it has within it so many latent mazes of iniquity that men might be self-deceived either as to their apprehensions of that which was right before God, or as to their own actual condition in His sight; and he tells them that God is not mocked by this pretended service, that to... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Galatians 6:8

Galatians 6:8 Sowing to the Spirit. I. The natural man has no desire for immortality. This is the desire which is always assumed in the New Testament as lying at the root of all spiritual life, of all growth in holiness. If a man is to sow to the Spirit, he must first believe in spirit; he must believe that he is a spirit, that he is not a mere part of this world, to vanish away and perish like the herb of the field when his day here is over. But the natural man has not this first great... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Galatians 6:7-8

DISCOURSE: 2089THE GROUND OF GOD’S FINAL DECISIONGalatians 6:7-8. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 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.SIN and misery are often found to be nearly connected in this life; yet rewards and punishments are not always distributed according to man’s actions. The necessity therefore of a future state of... read more
