What is the principle of sowing and reaping?
The principle of sowing and reaping is that you reap what you sow. Paul in Galatians states this, and the Old Testament warns that sowing to the whirlwind brings its reaping. A common saying captures it: what goes around comes around; what you sow is what you reap.
Les explains that the principle of sowing and reaping runs through Scripture. The Old Testament says you sow to the whirlwind and you reap it, and Paul in Galatians says you will reap what you sow. Les also points to the Oklahoma saying, 'what goes around comes around,' and emphasizes that you can bet on it: what you sow, that is what you reap. He tells the listener to keep this in mind as the study continues.
