You Reap What You Sow

(Response of Brina's earlier post)

^{1 Corinthians 11:27-29
27} Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. ²⁸ But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. ²⁹ For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly.

It says in this verse that if you have not already been forgiven of your sins when you take communion, you will then be drinking damnation on yourself. All the sins that you have committed that haven't been made right by God, will be judged.
God is a just Judge. If you sin he will judge you of it.

Galatians 6:7
⁷ Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

This may scare you. And for some it should. But I want to stress two points about this:
1. God can wipe your slate clean of all the sins you have committed. One way to put it is that God can buy the crop. God's own Son went to the cross so that you don't have to reap the evil you've sown.
2. On the flip-side, you can reap the good you've sown. For many people, when someone says,
"You reap what you sow," they get scared. But for some people who have been washed clean and are living righteously, it's a good thing. They get to reap the good they've sown.

So all this said to get back to the point.
If we are not clean through the cross and we are judged by the Judge, fault will be found.
Don't take communion if you aren't in right relationship with God.
And even if it has nothing to do with communion, get right with God!
