Romans 6:12-13 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 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.
Why does The Lord want your body? The believer's body is God's temple, and he wants to use it for His glory. Your surrendered body is a tool in God's hand.
- He used the rod in Moses' hand and conquered Egypt.
- He used the sling in David's hand to defeat the Philistines.
- He used the mouths and tongues of the prophets.
- Paul's dedicated feet carried him from city to city as he proclaimed the Gospel.
- The Apostle John's eyes saw vision of the future: his ears heard God's message, and his fingers wrote it all down in a book that we can read.
We must surrender daily to Him. The longer we walk with Christ, the deeper the fellowship becomes.The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows.
