Sin’s Power is Broken

12 Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires. 13 Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God. 14 Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.


Use your mind … to study and understand God’s Word.

Use your mouth … to speak a gentle word; to sing a hymn of praise.

Use your arms … to embrace someone who is hurting.

Use your hands … to serve someone who is less fortunate than you.

Use your heart … to care for the orphaned and widowed.

Use your legs … to take a stand against injustice in the world.

Use your feet … to walk away when wronged; to step up when called; to go when sent.

“…use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.”
