“Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.”

Romans 6:13

 

I want us to pull something out of our verse and allow God the freedom to do a work in our lives.  Set your eyes upon these glorious words, “Yield yourselves unto God.”   Don’t give your body over as an instrument of sin, but yield your body as an instrument of righteousness unto God!  If you are saved, you are as one who is alive from the dead.  You have been born again!  Paul writes, “Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Let not sin reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof” (Romans 6:11-12).  We can have victory over sin because when Christ died, we also died and we no longer have to be slaves to that which we have been bought out of.  I have three things I want to lay on your heart and I pray that you will consider them for the victory that awaits you in Christ Jesus.

I. Sacrifice your bodies-  “I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service” (Romans 12:1).  We, in America, live increasingly more and more in a culture that can be labeled, “One Nation under sensuality.”  Christian, don’t give in to the ways of this world, but present your bodies as a “living sacrifice” to God.

II. Surrender your will- “Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” (Hebrews 13:20-21).  Seek to do God’s will by allowing His Word to be your path and the Holy Spirit to be your power for the totality of your life. Life is not life until Jesus Christ is the Lord of every facet of your life.  That is true living at its best.

III. Separate your self- “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?  And what communion hath light with darkness? ...WHEREFORE COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM, AND BE YE SEPARATE,  Saith the Lord, AND TOUCH NOT THE UNCLEAN THING; AND I WILL RECEIVE YOU” (2 Corinthians 6:14,17).   Separation is not that we sequester ourselves from the world, but that we do not participate in the ways of the world.  When we are salt and light in the world separation will be visible for all to see. Luke 15:2 says, "And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them."  Don't miss this- It says, He received them, not that He ran with them!

Let’s yield ourselves completely to the Lord and allow Him to do through us that which only He can do.  That will be the best life one could ever live.
