Romans 6:13 (NIV)
13 Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an
instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who
have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him
as an instrument of righteousness.
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 by God's gracious help, we
won't. Our commitment to live for his glory and the power of the Holy Spirit
will help us live for him!
Thought for today:
Do I glorify God with my actions?
