Listen from:
Yield... your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. Romans 6:13
OM 6:13{What are your members? Hands, feet, lips, eyes, ears, and so on. What are we to do with them? "Yield" them, that is, give them up altogether, hand them over to God. What for? That He may use them as instruments of righteousness. That is, just as we should take an instrument of music, to make music with it, so He may take our hands and feet and all our members, and use them to do right and good things with. If we have given ourselves to God, every part of our body is to be God's servant, an intrument for Him to use. All our members will leave off serving Satan, and find something to do for God, for if we yield them to God, He will really take them and use them. We will be surprised to find in how many ways He will use our members, if we give them and our whole self to Him. We will never be miserable again with "nothing to do!”
"Not your own!" but His ye are, who hath paid a price untold
For your life, exceeding far all earth's store of gems and gold.
With the precious blood of Christ, ransom treasure all unpriced,
Full redemption Is procured, full salvation is assured.
