Galatians 6:7-10
Do not be deceived. God will not be made a fool. For a person will reap what he sows, because the person who sows to his own flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. So we must not grow weary in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who belong to the family of faith.
Our faith is meant to produce good fruit, and this happens as we "sow to the Spirit". This is about doing good that is born from our encounter with Jesus Christ who saved us. We respond with doing good because that is the result of trying to love God and love our neighbors. Matthew 22:37-40 says, "Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” Everything hinges on us loving God and loving one another, and we do not accomplish this by "sowing to the flesh". That only serves self and causes destruction. Be led by the Spirit of God and do good works.
