Scripture Reading: Romans 6:13
God works through members of the Body of Christ to reach others with the message of grace. Verses 1-12 of Romans 6 give us some powerful facts concerning Christ's victory over sin and death and our being there "with Him through it all"-glorious truths to be savored and applied to our lives daily.
This is where our minds come in. God wants us, based upon the knowledge of what Christ has done for us, to "yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God" (verse 13). The key here is we must be under God's control for our bodies to be "instruments of righteousness."
The fact alone that Christ died for us and freed us from the power of sin will not prevent us from sinning. Only when the Spirit of God, dwelling within these vessels of clay, is in control can He bring victory over sin and glory to the Lord Jesus Christ.
When we look at our physical members and see dirt, we want to wash it away. Our glorious Head, Jesus Christ, is pure, spotless and undefiled. Why should any member of Christ's Body be a spotted instrument of unrighteousness? It must not be and need not be so. Christ's death provided our victory over sin in this life.
Verse 14 assures us that "sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law (system), but under grace." When we know and yield to God's Spirit, based upon the Word rightly divided, our bodies will truly be instruments of righteousness for God.
