Romans 6:12-23 Which one will you feed, righteous or sin?

12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, 13and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

     15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! 16Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? 17But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, 18and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.

     20For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death. 22But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. 23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.


"present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead,".
Are you spiritually alive or the walking dead?

14For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
Do you accept His grace?

16Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves...... 
Are you a slave of obedience or a slave of sin? 
Which one will win the war inside of you? It's simple to answer. Which one do you feed? And are you sorry after you feed the sin? Cut it off, get rid of it. Turn it off, disconnect it! Don't buy it, don't drink or smoke it. Just don't do it!

This bears repeating;
18and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness
what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed?
22But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. 
23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Which one will you feed, righteous or sin?

Dear Heavenly Father I lift those up struggling with addictions, they know it's wrong but they don't have the strength or will to quit. Bring someone alongside them to help. Give them strength and will to stop. Help them to stop feeding sin and instead feed on You and Your Son.
In Jesus name I pray.

Blessings, David
