YIELD

Romans 6:12-14 (KJV)
"12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
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.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace."...
Have you ever been sick and tired of being sick and tired? Who is in control here? Will we submit to the tyrant abusing us or the one who truly wants to save us? Okay, maybe I have asked enough questions that we might understand what this scripture may being saying with words like, reign, obey, and dominion.
Simple as this, sin takes place where something is broken, dysfunctional, and miserable, righteousness takes place where things are healed and reconciled. Do we want to remain broken down, dysfunctional, and miserable, or, do we prefer to be healed and reconciled?
It all boils down to who we yield our members to; who will we surrender to. Sin seeks to control us; actually, underneath the sin are those things that leave us broken down or dysfunctional these are the tyrants. God simply wants to heal us, to love us, He longs for things to be right between us. He longs for relationship that is free flowing and He refuse to be in a relationship that is strained by control and manipulation.
Which sounds more inviting when it comes to yielding – Law or Grace / Bondage or Freedom? God gave the law to reveal sin and its slavery then He gave us grace to reveal righteousness and its freedom.
