It doesn't take a Christian to interpret that. It basically means that for every action you make, there's a corresponding reaction that occurs, whether that reaction is good or bad.

It's very much like Luke 12:34: "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
If your focus is on things of the flesh, you will receive things of the flesh. If your focus is on things of the spirit, you will gain eternal life. It's not like karma, which many people believe.
Galatians 6:8 explains it: "For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life."

God is the omnipresent and omniscient creator and what we say or do cannot persuade anything to happen other than what He intends to have done. We cannot make a mess of what God has planned. We would be fools to regard ourselves as the powerful being He is. Whatever we do,say and believe is what we will be accountable to God for. We are not the person in control. We are free to make choices, but we are not the omnipotent God. He works through us, but we are not God. He is the way of truth, not we ourselves. He will give us rewards in the last Day of judgement. We will have eternal life, or eternal death. We choose.

We will pay the price for things done wrong in our lives (i.e. drinking too much will ruin your liver)
Even after we get saved, our bodies are still aging and falling apart.
Let's say you were a smoker for 20 years....then you got saved and quit smoking. Your body is still in sorry shape from the 20 years of smoking.....so...you are reaping what you sowed

Sometimes people sow by making bad choices and reap a measure of suffering as a consequence. They may choose to drive recklessly, resulting in an accident. Many choose to smoke cigarettes, leading to heart disease or lung cancer. Those who choose to engage in immoral sexual conduct risk suffering ruined family relationships, loss of self-respect, sexually transmitted diseases, and unwanted pregnancies. People may seek to blame God for such suffering, but they are actually the victims of their own bad decisions.
Similarly, if we want to reap what is good, we must sow what is good. Do you want to continue reaping what is good—a satisfying life now with the prospect of everlasting life in God’s new world? If so, you must continue to sow what is good by walking with God and living in harmony with his righteous standards.

Connect it with
Colossians 3 :25And he who does wrong will be recompensed what he did wrong, and there is no partiality. (ACV)
Proverbs 11:31Behold, a righteous man shall be recompensed in the earth, how much more the wicked man and the sinner!
