Slave to Christ

S: ¹³ Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness.



Romans 6:13


O: God calls me to be fully obedient. It is not enough to say that only apart of me is given to God and apart of me is given to sin. When I accepted Jesus it mean that the ownership of my life was forfeited from sin into righteous. Paul goes on saying that one person can not serve to masters.

A: The difficulty of living a Christian life is to exclude all sins. This is what drives lukewarmness in my life, which is the constant failing and falling into my sinful desires. I'm at times on fire for God and at times falling into temptation of sin. When I took Christ as my savior, I also made him Lord over my life. I forfeited my past master, sin, over to righteousness which is Christ. 

For instance when I'm struggling with lust and I'm falling into those temptations during the week, I should be upset for failing my master Christ. Nothing should be excusable just because I act "holy" during Wednesday CG and Sunday service. I need to constantly remind myself that God owns me completely. My desires, my ambitions and my thoughts. I need to refocus on giving myself up to Him.


P: Jesus thank you for your grace. As it is written in your Word, let not my sinful actions continue to increase the Grace that you give to me, but rather help me to walk away from sin, so that I may decrease the grace provided. Help me Spirit to walk in righteousness and give my whole self to you as my Lord. To claim you are my savior is the easiest thing, but I ask that you help me to also live out my life as you being the Lord over it.

In Jesus name
Amen.
