When we have fixed our minds on using examples from Scripture to make a case for ignoring the weight of errors and sins of our life, as we try to bypass accountability; we must be ready to apply the full weight of the example, instead. One of the weights of the examples of Scripture, as they are associated with errors of humans, is the matter of consequence. If we want to apply the examples of Scripture to our lives, we must be ready to accept the consequences that are associated with those examples. Scripture tells us that this is the normal course of events in the Kingdom of God.
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
(Galatians 6:7-8)
When one soweth to the Spirit, the consequences are indeed blessed ones. For instance, in the community of Israel, the LORD described a series of blessings that were waiting for the people of that nation when they adhered to the requirements of righteousness.
