When we made Christ Jesus, Our Lord and Our Friend of our lives, we became what the Bible calls ‘New Creations’. Inside, we are not the same person as we were before. we have a new nature of God born inside us. But it is not enough for us just to have that new nature inside, we have to let it take over the outside as well.

Let us make that decisive dedication, or a renewal of that dedication today, and let that new person that is on the inside of us have more control of the outside of us as well.

Romans 12 verse 1 and 2.

V1: ” Therefore, brothers {and sisters], by the mercies of God, I {Paul] urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to god; this is spiritual worship”.

V2: “Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God”.

Just as Jesus Christ had to take on Himself a body in order to accomplish Gods’ will on earth, so we must yield our bodies to Christ that He might continue God’s work through us. We must yield the members of the body as ‘instruments to do what is right’.

Romans 6 Verse 13: “Present yourselves as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God”.

Take time to reflect.

God Bless,
