The Seed Contains the Germ of the Harvest
H. W. Beecher. Galatians 6:7-8 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap.… The pea contains the vine and the flower and the pod in embryo; and I am sure, when I plant it, that it will produce them, and nothing else. Now, every action of our lives is embryonic, and, according as it is right or wrong, it will surely bring forth the sweet flowers of icy, or the poison fruits of sorrow. Such is the constitution of this world; and the Bible assures us that the next world only carries it forward. (H. W. Beecher.) Parallel Verses KJV: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. WEB: Don't be deceived.
