"Instrument of Unrighteousness or Instrument of Righteousness?"


“Instrument of Unrighteousness or Instrument of Righteousness?”

 

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.  For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under the law, but under grace.           Romans 6:12-14

 

When the Holy Spirit of God brings us to Christ for the SALVATION of our soul, and we ACCEPT Him as our SAVIOR and LORD, we become DEAD to sin, because we have been crucified with Christ.  And we then become ALIVE with Him because we are brought into a NEWNESS of LIFE.  We have TURNED AWAY FROM our OLD, SINFUL LIFESTYLE and have TURNED TO a NEW LIFE in Christ.   Therefore, we are DEAD to SIN and ALIVE to God in Jesus Christ.

 

So we should NOT let SIN reign in our mortal body, but we SHOULD be OBEDIENT to God’s will, and STOP presenting the members of our body to sin, to be used as INSTRUMENTS of UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. 

 

Instead we SHOULD present ourselves to God as those ALIVE from the DEAD, and our BODIES SHOULD be INSTRUMENTS of RIGHTEOUSNESS to the HOLY, RIGHTEOUS GOD of this Universe.   SIN will not MASTER over us, because we are NOT under the law, but we are under GOD’S AMAZING GRACE.  We are to be OBEDIENT to God’s laws, but the LAW cannot SAVE us, ONLY GOD’S GRACE is ABLE to SAVE mankind from their sins.  Have you experienced God’s AMAZING GRACE?  Are you an INSTRUMENT of UNRIGHTEOUSNESS or RIGHTEOUSNESS?

 

You can EXPERIENCE God’s AMAZING GRACE by TURNING AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE, and TURNING TO God, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, CONFESSING your sins to Him and asking Him for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVING, with ALL your HEART, that Jesus died for YOU, and is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God, then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and if you do this you will become DEAD to your SINS and ALIVE in Christ Jesus, and will become an INSTRUMENT of RIGHTEOUSNESS.  So do it NOW, while you still can, and ESCAPE the HORRORS of Hell for ALL ETERNITY.  He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
