King James Version
What does Romans 6:15 mean? →Passage Context
13Neither 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.
14For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
16Know 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?
17But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
Devotional Reflection
GratitudeHope
This verse, which aligns with Romans 6:1-2, is a great reminder that sin is no longer our master or our choice. We choose to live our whole lives for God and reject the sinful life that used to hold us captive to death and defeat.
Prayer
Dear God, my Father, precious Jesus, my Lord, Holy Spirit, my inner companion and holy fire, stir in me a holy passion to be the person of holy and righteous grace You created and redeemed me to be. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
