If you sin, you sow a seed. You will reap what that seed produces. You cannot uproot the seeds that have been sown. When a seed is sown, it produces fruit. The evil tree brings forth evil fruit. The good tree brings forth good fruit. Jesus spoke those words to believers. When you sow a seed of willful sin, that seed is going to grow.
Believe me, the devil will make sure the seed's watered! It will come forth and bring evil fruit. You sowed; you reap. God does not cause that seed to grow and to produce fruit; you do. Even good fruit has to be watered. You have to keep it going with the Word.
"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.
"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."
—Galatians 6:7-9
When you sow a seed, you'll reap a harvest! That's one reason why Christians have problems. They have strife in their homes because of sin. They bring it on their own heads.
People say, "But we live in this world; we can't help it." Yes, you can. God gave us THE BOOK. He told us what was what. How hard is it to obey the laws of our glorious God? It's not that hard. As easy as it is to sin, it's just as easy to do right!
What about the sin of ignorance? People ask me this all the time. Does God allow sin because of ignorance? Some people would say yes. I don't agree. We don't have any excuse for ignorance. God's given us all the knowledge we need in His Book. People perish for lack of knowledge. Ignorance is no excuse.
When Jesus went to heaven, He sent the Holy Spirit, the Great Teacher back to earth to guide us into ALL truth. John 16:13 says,
"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come."
If we are led by the Spirit of God, we are the children of God. The Spirit of God does not know defeat, failure, or sin. He can only guide an individual into ALL TRUTH, VICTORY, and SUCCESS in life. The sin of ignorance will not exist for us, because the Spirit of God will guide us on the right pathway There is no excuse for us to continue in sin.
"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
"Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth."
—Colossians 3:1,2
"For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness."
