Chapter 17
Karma, Past Lives, Destiny
 
 
KARMA IN THE BIBLE
"You will always reap what you sow!"--Gal 6:7
And this brings me to the Spiritual aspect of the Law of Action and Reaction. 
This Law is not at all limited to the Physical world.  It is also a Universal Law which
governs the Spiritual world.  And since we humans are Spiritual beings, we are also
governed by this Universal Law at all times.  Have you ever heard of Karma?  It is the
name given to the Spiritual Law of Action and Reaction.  In fact, Karma is a word
meaning "action".  Typically, we hear people of eastern religions, especially the Hindu
religion, speaking of Karma.  Karma, like Reincarnation, is another Truth of God, a
Universal Law.
       
There are many ways to describe the effect of Karma on our lives.  Any of these
phrases sound familiar?  "What you give is what you get."  "What goes around comes
around."  "You get exactly what you deserve."  "You always get what's coming to you." 
"Everything that you do will come back to you."  "What goes around comes around." 
"You will always reap what you sow."  Certainly you have heard at least one of these
sayings at one time or another.

Did the last one ring a bell?  (A church bell, perhaps?)  The phrase, "You will
always reap what you sow." is a quote straight from the Bible.  Karma?  In the Bible? 
Well, what do you know?  Something else we did not learn in Sunday school, despite this
Truth being in plain view in the scriptures.  I know I was stunned when I first learned that
the Truth of Karma was actually in the Bible of all places.  No priest I knew ever spoke
of Karma.  In fact, no one I knew ever did.  So, after studying various religions and
spiritual philosophies and learning about Karma, I was truly amazed to discover that the
Law of Action and Reaction was never mentioned by religious people in the western
hemisphere, even though it is written in the most famous western scripture.
