Romans 6:13 says, 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.

Yield means to present yourself and we are to surrender our lives to the Lord! We should not, and don’t have to give into sin. The reason most of us get into trouble is because we yield ourselves to the old nature which we’ll have with us until the day we die!

Although we still have the old nature, we are told now to yield ourselves to the Lord as those that are alive from the dead. We are now alive in Christ, we have a new nature because we’ve been born again.

We have two choices to make daily! Are we going to yield to the old nature and do what we want, or, are we going to yield to the new nature and do what Christ wants?
