Romans 6:12-14 (KJV) Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
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.
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
We should not yield our bodies as instruments of unrighteousness. We should not yield our members to be used by the agents of Satan as instruments of unrighteousness. We should not be instruments of unrighteousness. We are to worship God in righteousness.
Those who practice sinful habits are yielding themselves to the agents of the devil as instruments of unrighteousness. Like Bro Eli Soriano listed, those who patronize drug dealers are yielding themselves as instruments of unrighteousness. Those who join criminal activities are yielding themselves as instruments of unrighteousness. Those who engage in prostitution are yielding themselves as instruments of unrighteousness. Those looting the government treasury are instruments of unrighteousness. We should not yield our members to serve the flesh.
Instruments of righteousness are those who practice righteousness. Those who give themselves to do the will of God and obey His commandments are those who are yielding themselves as instruments of righteousness.
Unrighteousness is ugly. Holiness is beautiful. The opposite of beauty is ugly. Sinful life is a ugly life. Bro Eli made this abundantly clear to us. We should not yield our members to serve the flesh or the devil or the world.
