However, you are forgetting that it is mere common sense that the sower sows the word in soil other than himself (even in the parable of the sower).
You are missing the teaching of God's word on the subject because you think you know, when you do not.
Gal 6:7-8 "
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 life everlasting."
Again,
YOU reap what
YOU have sown.
So those who want to reap everlasting life per Gal 6:8 must first reap to the Spirit. On another forum I participate on, the Calvinists were claiming one is first given life, THEN one believes. That is putting the cart before the horse, that is reaping THEN sowing which is not logically, Biblically possible. The Calvinist looks to obtain everlasting life without having to do anything, that is, they want to reap everlasting life having sown nothing. If one wants the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) then one must
first sow to the Spirit (obey the Spirit)
then one can reap those fruits of the Spirit. Again, Calvinists want to reap those fruits of the Spirit without having to first sow to the Spirit. Everlasting life is a free gift, therefore sowing cannot earn it, but sowing is a necessary condition God has placed upon His free gift therefore one must first sow now in order to reap everlasting life in the future, in the world to come (Luke 18:30).
