[Songs in the Night - October 1]
Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatians 6:7
WHILE each act and word and thought has its
bearing upon the ultimate results in every Christian's
life, nevertheless no one thought, no one word, and
no one deed carries the deciding weight, either for
good or for evil.
The more loyal we are, the more
faithful we are, the fewer slips we make, the more like
our Redeemer we shall be, and the brighter will be our
reward, for as the apostle declares, "For one star differeth
from star in glory, so also is the resurrection of
the dead."
Those, then, who are of the world may
know that every good and every evil act of theirs will
have a weight and influence in respect to their trial
for life or death under the messianic kingdom arrangements.
And every Christian who has entered into a
covenant to become dead with Christ that he may also
live with him, to suffer with Christ that he may also
reign with him—all such should know that every word,
every thought, every act, has a bearing upon the great
results.
Hence, as the apostle says, all such should
walk through life circumspectly, wisely, seeking to
know and to do the things pleasing to God, and to attain
the highest reward. Z'13-126 R5226:5 (Hymn Appendix O)
