Romans 6:19, The Manner of Men

Romans 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

The Apostle Paul by the inspiration of God instructs us concerning who we really are. He reminded the Christian of the past before his conversion. That he is in total bondage to sin living from “iniquity unto iniquity”. The word “iniquity” literally means “a bending”, the outworking of sin in crooked lifestyle. But now, in Christ, he has the freedom and the power within him to live a life pleasing to God. God used the Apostle Paul to pen the Scriptures to instruct us in the ways of God. These instructions of righteousness are profitable for practice, teaching us what is good and what is evil.

God used the Apostle Paul to pen the Scriptures to instruct us in the ways of God. These instructions of righteousness are profitable for practice, teaching us what is good and what is evil. He reminds us we have the strength to do good. And he instructs us to not be weary of well-doing. Yield yourself servants to righteousness.

The Christian needs to be reminded time and again of his privilege in Christ so that he may live in righteousness unto holiness. A life that honours and bring glory to Christ. Amen.
