Romans 6:13-14
13 Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. 14 For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace
Do you ever think of enjoying sin as if it were a nice little package full of your favorite candy (chocolate covered feces as the great Christian speaker Mike Guzzardo calls it?) How about giving up your body to participate in the wicked ways of sin?
I just don't think the latter statement is necessarily true, but it serves as a hypothetical situation We don't offer ourselves to sin. It's just a matter of doing it. We are sinful. We sin without thinking about it. Either way, the consequences are the same even if we send sin a love letter with a nice little gift of our sinful body parts. In other words, a sin is a sin no matter the process or what it is. It's all equal.
Think about it though. It's time to watch our choices. Instead of writing a love letter to sin, send one to God because he freed us from a sinful death. Offer yourself to him so that he can use you to serve and bless others.
Our body is an instrument that can either serve sin (Satan) or serve God. Who have you been serving? Ask God to help you avoid wasting your life on sinful desires.
