Sowing and Reaping

by Robert Govett, 48 pgs.

The subject matter for this tract is set by Robert Govett when he writes: "The Scripture view of the certain consequences of our actions in the day of justice near at hand, is one of God's motives to holiness; --a very strong one, -- repeated in various forms in the Epistles to the Churches.  But it condemns so many; it frightens so many who believe they are wrong in some things, or suspect that they are, that they dare not face it--they will not receive it.  Where the heart is warped, it is not difficult to persuade one's self, that a falsehood which flatters us is better than a truth which condemns".

This pocket booklet by Govett challenges believers to consider 2 questions:

-What type of seed are you sowing in your daily life?

-Into what type of soil are you sowing it?

He gives several helpful examples of the above. 

“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 everlasting life” (Gal. 6:7-8).

-Govett proves that this warning is to eternally saved believers, with the punishment reaped being exclusion from the Millennial Kingdom of our Lord.

“Now the works of the flesh are manifest….they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God (5:19, 21).
