Galatians 6:8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
Living a holy life doesn’t come by accident, it takes persistence. It’s easy to slide down a hill, but it’s a lot more difficult to climb the hill. Sowing to the flesh is easy, because the majority of the world is doing it. The theme of the Book of Judges is, Everyone did what was right in his own eyes. A crop of holiness is possible when you make a decided effort to have a lifestyle of holiness. Your primary goal is to please the Lord in thought, word and deed.
When you make this your focus, you find the Lord enables you to reach your goal. The ultimate goal is everlasting life, and being with the Lord for all of eternity. Some will leave you alone because they don’t like your lifestyle, yet others, when they run into a real emergency will ask you to pray for them.
