Closing Your Loop (Galatians 6:7)
Exhibit AKey Evidence
- In Looper (2012), Joe is a hired killer who gets paid now and figures the bill comes due "30 years from now."
- Someday his own older self will be sent back, and he will be the one to pull the trigger. He knows exactly how the story ends, and he signs up anyway, because the cost feels far away.
- That is how sin sells itself: enjoy it now, deal with it later. But later always arrives.
- You don't get to outrun what you plant. The good news is that you can still choose what to sow today, and that there is mercy for those who turn back.
Exhibit BFrom the Word
“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”
