[Dr. Eckleburg]

reaping that we have sowed.

That, my FRiend, is karma, and that ain't Christian.

If we reaped what we sow, we'd all be in hell all the time.

But Christians are saved by God's grace alone.

It's a gift of mercy.

Thank you, God, for sparing the lives of 309 people yesterday, for bringing a new baby into this world, and for fixing the shuttle.

As God wills.

If we reaped what we sow, we'd all be in hell all the time.

Hosea 8:7
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind...

This would be my life's verse, if God had not saved me by His grace alone.

Instead, my life verse is
ITimothy 1:15-16
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.

This is the "miracle:" that God would save a wretched sinner like me. That He would condescend to give life to someone dead in trespasses & sin.

"reaping that we have sowed."

That, my FRiend, is karma, and that ain't Christian.

AMEN!!

reaping that we have sowed.

If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. Romans 14:8
