Righteousness....

BIBLE MEDITATION:
Romans 6:19 - “...now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.”

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
After a splendid victory at sea, Lord Nelson confronted the French admiral who was surrendering. The admiral, dressed in all of his regalia, approached Nelson to surrender. With his sword swinging by his side, the admiral put out his hand to the British commander. Lord Nelson stepped back and said, “Your sword first.” There are a lot of people who think they can walk up and glad-hand the Lord Jesus Christ. He says, “Your sword first.” Surrender first! Jesus is not an appeaser, and He will never make a truce with sin. Never! We have to abdicate the throne. We have to surrender to Him.

ACTION POINT:
Read Romans 6. Count the number of times the word “yield” is written. What does Paul want us to yield?
