ROM 6:16¹⁶Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? (Romans 6:16)

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey?

Rom. 6:16¹⁶Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? (Romans 6:16)

The verse goes on to say that we obey one of two things - either sin unto death, or obedience unto righteousness. Bob Dylan had a song on the charts shortly after he was reportedly converted. It said, “You got to serve somebody. It may be the devil, or it may be the Lord, but you got to serve somebody.” It reflects the same thought as our verse. The choice is not if we choose to serve one or the other, but that we will serve either one. Who are you servant to?
