As You Sow

Posted in: Ask a Bible Teacher

Do you reap what you sow even after being saved? For example, if you did something way before you became saved will you reap it still?

Q. Do you reap what you sow even after being saved? For example, if you did something way before you became saved will you reap it still?

A. Accepting the Lord’s death as payment for your sins relieves you of the eternal consequences of your sins, but not necessarily from the earthly ones. If you committed a crime before you were saved and are caught and convicted, you should expect to pay the penalty, even though God has forgiven you. But you should also expect Him to find a way to glorify Himself through you in this situation and ultimately even bless you.

You don’t say what kind of action you’re referring to, but if possible you should consider going to whoever you’ve wronged, ask forgiveness, and offer to make it right. This would please the Lord greatly. (Matt. 5:23-26)
