#CauseAndEffect #DecisionsHaveConsequences #BibleStudy What you do matters. What you decide to do, today and every day, has a consequence. The Bible is relentlessly clear about this: cause and effect, decisions and rewards. From Revelation to Proverbs, from Ruth to the Epistles, Scripture repeats the same theme — sometimes gently, sometimes urgently — that we reap what we sow. But this isn't about earning salvation. It's about understanding that grace saves us, but our works determine our reward. A grandfather's small mistake in 1920s Minnesota cost his family everything. A decision to keep the Sabbath cost a job but opened doors to blessings no paycheck could buy. A little girl picking peas instead of rocks on a Minnesota farm learned what so many adults never grasp: your choices have consequences, and those consequences can be either the bitter fruit or the sweet harvest. This message walks through the entire Bible — Old Testament to New — showing how God measures our lives not by our intentions or our beliefs alone, but by what we do with what we've been given. You get what you pay for. The question is: what are you planting?
