  Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

  You too can make the world a better place.

  We're working through Galatians 6, 7 through 10.
• 0:18
  And today we're going to look at 6, 9.
• 0:20
  It says, let us not lose heart in doing good for in due time we will reap if we do not
• 0:26
  grow weary.
• 0:27
  I hope you remember 6, 7 and 6, 8.
• 0:30
  I sent those out over the last couple of weeks.
• 0:32
  And in this context, and it's pretty straightforward, we've got a shot right now to make a difference.
• 0:39
  You can overcome evil with good and we are not to lose heart.
• 0:43
  Don't quit, don't give up, don't surrender, don't give in.
• 0:46
  We've got this.
• 0:47
  We can make a difference in the world.
• 0:49
  We've got an opportunity to do good right now while the world is such a messy place
• 0:53
  and so many bad things are going on and deceptions are very real and efforts to steal from others
• 0:59
  and so on.
• 1:00
  We can do good in due time.
• 1:02
  We will reap if we do not grow weary.
• 1:06
  That is to say, we will be rewarded for our good efforts in the Lord.
• 1:10
  When Jesus comes again, there will be a reckoning and others will reap what they wish they would
• 1:15
  not reap.
• 1:16
  But we will reap according to the good that we have done.
• 1:20
  If you've accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and been saved, then the judgment
• 1:24
  for us is not whether we'll go to heaven or hell.
• 1:26
  That's already resolved by what we've done with the one whom we sent, Jesus Christ.
• 1:31
  What will be questioned is what we did with what we knew, what we did with what we believed.
• 1:37
  Now that you believe in Jesus, what are you going to do about it?
• 1:40
  Well, I'm going to tell you what you're going to do.
• 1:42
  You're going to not lose heart in doing good for in due time, we will reap if we do not
• 1:48
  grow weary.
• 1:50
  God bless you as you serve the Lord.
• 1:52
  Don't quit.
• 1:53
  No one can stop you from doing what's right in the Spirit of God.
• 1:57
  Worship the Lord in His church, serve His people, preach and teach in whatever you can
• 2:02
  in the gospel.
• 2:03
  God bless you today.
