Yield yourself as...

Romans 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'. The Word, 'yield' is from the Greek, 'paristēmi'. It means to 'present as, to recommend'. Let me give this example to elucidate. If you were called for an interview and you were asked to present your birth certificate. The document that would be presented would be shown because it’s the required document. In the same way, you should ‘Present’ your body as Instruments of righteousness, tools that have been consecrated and made for carrying out the righteous purposes of God. Hitherto, it was the body of sin, now in Christ; it’s the instrument of righteousness. The Word, 'Instrument' is from the Greek word, 'Hoplon'. Hoplon refers to a tool made for a purpose! Our bodies are now tools crafted, made purposely for righteousness! For this cause, we live to our true calling; using our body to carry out God's righteous will! Glory! #Pleroma
