Our actions have consequences. Someone will bear them.
Don’t interrupt this law by regularly bailing others out.

1. THE LAW OF SOWING AND REAPING
“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
![Page 7: Creating Healthy Boundaries in our Relationships Life Series part 3 of 5](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051507/58d184841a28ab29318b4d87/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
1. THE LAW OF SOWING AND REAPING
Proverbs 9:8
tells us that it is worthless to confrontirresponsible people.
Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee:rebuke a wise man, and he will lovethee.
![Page 8: Creating Healthy Boundaries in our Relationships Life Series part 3 of 5](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051507/58d184841a28ab29318b4d87/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
1. THE LAW OF SOWING AND REAPING
The law of sowing and reaping is more easily identifiable in the functional part of a marriage, because the tasks are more concrete: paying bills, cooking meals, keeping the house, etc.
![Page 9: Creating Healthy Boundaries in our Relationships Life Series part 3 of 5](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051507/58d184841a28ab29318b4d87/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
1. THE LAW OF SOWING AND REAPING
If you reap the discomfort of yourspouse’s careless housekeeping, thiswill be quite obvious. It is more trickyin the relational part, which involvesthe emotional tie between husbandand wife: how deeply connected theyare and how they feel about each other– positively and negatively.
![Page 10: Creating Healthy Boundaries in our Relationships Life Series part 3 of 5](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051507/58d184841a28ab29318b4d87/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1. THE LAW OF SOWING AND REAPING
But the spouse who carries theconsequences is the only one who canchange that. She can’t change herspouse, but she can change the factthat she is the only one who facing theeffects of his irresponsibility.
![Page 11: Creating Healthy Boundaries in our Relationships Life Series part 3 of 5](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051507/58d184841a28ab29318b4d87/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
1. THE LAW OF SOWING AND REAPING
By setting appropriate boundaries –which ranges from mentioning howmuch this behaviour hurts her, all theway to setting a clear limit on (herexposure to) it
![Page 12: Creating Healthy Boundaries in our Relationships Life Series part 3 of 5](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051507/58d184841a28ab29318b4d87/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
1. THE LAW OF SOWING AND REAPING
– the law of sowing and reaping will bereestablished in the way it wasintended to be and eventually lead togrowth in the relationship.
![Page 13: Creating Healthy Boundaries in our Relationships Life Series part 3 of 5](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051507/58d184841a28ab29318b4d87/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
2. The Law of Responsibility
We are responsible to,
not for each other.
We are to love one another,
not be one another.
![Page 14: Creating Healthy Boundaries in our Relationships Life Series part 3 of 5](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051507/58d184841a28ab29318b4d87/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
2. The Law of ResponsibilityGalatians 5:13– 14 reminds us that we should use our freedom in Christ to develop genuine love for “our neighbors”. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shaltlove thy neighbour as thyself.
![Page 15: Creating Healthy Boundaries in our Relationships Life Series part 3 of 5](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051507/58d184841a28ab29318b4d87/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
2. The Law of ResponsibilityJesus challenges us to love one another as he has loved us. Anytime we do not love others, we do not live up to our responsibilities.
![Page 16: Creating Healthy Boundaries in our Relationships Life Series part 3 of 5](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051507/58d184841a28ab29318b4d87/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
2. The Law of ResponsibilityBut problems arise when our understanding ofresponsibility gets confused. We are to love oneanother, not be one another. We can’t feel thefeelings of our wives. We can’s think the thoughtsof our husbands. We can’t behave for our children.We can’t grow for others – only they can. Likewiseothers can’t grow for us – only we can.
![Page 17: Creating Healthy Boundaries in our Relationships Life Series part 3 of 5](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051507/58d184841a28ab29318b4d87/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
2. The Law of Responsibility“We have to continue to work out our own salvation
... for it is God who works in us to will and act according to his good purpose.”
(Philippians 2:12–13).”
No one can do that for us. We are responsible for ourselves . . . and others are responsible for themselves.
![Page 18: Creating Healthy Boundaries in our Relationships Life Series part 3 of 5](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051507/58d184841a28ab29318b4d87/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2. The Law of ResponsibilityIn a marriage this means that we have todistinguish between our responsibility to ourspouse and her responsibility for herself. Thismeans we have to support each other in carryingthe heavy burdens of life (Galatians 6:2) such ashealth problems, emotional crises, financialburdens, raising children, and the workload that is
necessary to keep the family running.
![Page 19: Creating Healthy Boundaries in our Relationships Life Series part 3 of 5](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051507/58d184841a28ab29318b4d87/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
2. The Law of ResponsibilityOn the other hand we cannot take over theresponsibility for our spouse’s feelings, attitudes,values, and her handling of life’s daily littledifficulties. We may help each other, but eachperson must take care of his and her daily loads.(Galatians 6:5).
![Page 20: Creating Healthy Boundaries in our Relationships Life Series part 3 of 5](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051507/58d184841a28ab29318b4d87/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
3. The Law of Power
We do not have power over
other people
We hardly have enough power over ourselves
![Page 21: Creating Healthy Boundaries in our Relationships Life Series part 3 of 5](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051507/58d184841a28ab29318b4d87/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
4. The Law of Respect
If we wish our boundaries to be respected we must respect
those of others
For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
![Page 22: Creating Healthy Boundaries in our Relationships Life Series part 3 of 5](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051507/58d184841a28ab29318b4d87/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
5. The Law of Motivation
We must be free to say no before we can wholeheartedly say yes.
“Acts of love” are worthless if we don’t feel to have a choice.
![Page 23: Creating Healthy Boundaries in our Relationships Life Series part 3 of 5](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051507/58d184841a28ab29318b4d87/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
6. The Law of Evaluation
We need to evaluate the effects our boundaries cause others.
Hurt and harm are not the same –pain may eventually lead to growth.
