What Dead To Sin Does Not Mean

[newnature]

Spiritual language can be difficult.
I believe we agree.
We are not to listen to that old voice, but the new one.
As long as we abide in Christ...we are of Christ...
we are His children and we can rest in the security of His arms.

Paul says the same body can be a tool for righteousness, the same hands, the same eyes, the same tongue, the same feet, they were tools sin used freely, now they can be tools God uses. You have a body, that body has hands, those hands are going to reach for something today, the question is not whether you are strong enough, the question is who you are presenting those hands to, sin as an instrument of unrighteousness or God as an instrument of righteousness. The thing you look at, the thing you say, the place you go, the person you call, the thought you let stay, every one of those is a member being presented.
