Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.<\/p>\n

SOWING AND REAPING (GALATIANS 6:6-10)<\/p>\n
Taught – The Greek word is that from which come our words ‘catechize’ and ‘catechism’<\/p>\n
The reference is of oral teaching.<\/p>\n
Paul is regarded as exhorting Christians to give liberally for the financial support of their teachers.<\/p>\n
A believer must share with his teacher in every good work.<\/p>\n
The laws of God cannot be trifled with; He will not alter them for our benefit.<\/p>\n
What a man reaps is the inevitable result of what he sows (2 Cor 5:10)<\/p>\n
‘glory and honour and immrtality’ – ‘incorruption’ (1 Tim 6:19)<\/p>\n
Let us not be weary in well doing. The same exhortation is found in (2 Thes 3:13). The verb suggests the idea of fainting, losing heart; it is translated ‘faint’ in (Luke 18:1) (2 Cor 4:1) (2 Cor 4:16) (Eph 3:13)<\/p>\n
In due season; i.e. at the appropriate season for reaping, not earlier.<\/p>\n
It seems to describe here the moral and spiritual collapse that may be caused by apparent lack of results in Christian work<\/p>\n
There is one season for sowing, another for reaping: what matters now is that we should sow lavishly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
