Romans 6:13 (NIV).
Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness.......
Thoughts on This Verse...
This long verse boils down to a very simple message:
We are to glorify God by what we do with our bodies.
We were dead in our sin, but God has made us alive through our participation with Jesus in his saving death, burial, and resurrection.
How can we go back to the hideous sins that master us and lead us to death?
We shouldn't! We mustn't!
And with God's gracious help, we won't.
Our commitment to live for his glory and with the power of the Holy Spirit will help us live for him!
