30 Days of Obedience - Day 16

Romans 6:16
"Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness."

The King James Version uses the word "yield," instead of "present."

Yield (Strong's #3936) - paristemi - assist, bring before, command, commend, prove, provide, stand before

We opt whom we obey. We either present ourselves to sin leading to death or to obedience leading to righteousness. It is a minute by minute choice to obey God and reap righteousness. Otherwise, we are obeying sin and heading toward death.
