—Romans 6:13-23
by: Trisha Gerstel.
Many Christians struggle with a sense of unworthiness, believing that our past sins and/or current temptations exclude us from God’s work in one or more areas. The Apostle Paul gave us the anecdote to this lie in verse 13: “present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead.” When we step out in faith, offer our energy and talents to God for His use, and take stock of how He uses us as “instruments of righteousness,” we begin to accept the truth in Paul’s declaration that we have been “freed from sin, [and] became slaves to righteousness” (v.18).
