Rom 6:13 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.
Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Paul was addressing the Christians at the church in Rome. The danger was of Christians yielding themselves as instruments of unrighteousness. Giving themselves over to the dominion or mastery of sin in their lives. The Christians were instructed to yield their members as instruments of righteousness unto God. They were to use their feet to carry the good news of the Gospel to others. Lift their voices to tell of their wonderful Saviour. They were to use their lives as a willing sacrifice to the cause of Christ. Once we become a child of God sin has no more dominion over us unless we choose to allow it to be the master of our life. We have the indwelt Holy Spirit and the Word of God to show us how to yield ourselves to God. We have God's grace at work in our lives at salvation and throughout our lives. Let's realize that we have freedom from the dominion of sin in our lives and yield ourselves as instruments of righteousness that God can use for His glory and honor.
