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 KJV
Neither present your members unto sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. — Romans 6:13 ASV
We should examine how we are living our lives daily. Are we allowing parts of ourselves to be used for purposes that do not honor God? Every decision whether big or small is an opportunity to glorify Him. It’s about being intentional with our lives recognizing that we have been redeemed and are called to live in a way that reflects that redemption.
Offering ourselves to God means surrendering our will, desires, and even our struggles to Him. It’s a daily commitment to seek His guidance and strength to live righteously. This can be challenging in a world that often promotes values contrary to those of the Kingdom of God. Yet, the assurance we have is that God who has brought us from death to life, empowers us to live in righteousness.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, when I falter, remind me of the price Jesus paid for my freedom and the calling I have received as Your child. Strengthen my resolve to be a beacon of Your light in this world standing firm in faith and righteousness.
I offer myself to You, Lord, as an instrument of Your peace and righteousness. Use me for Your glory and for the advancement of Your Kingdom. I pray that my life bring honor to Your name, now and always.
In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.
