Your Flesh as an Instrument for Righteousness
“knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin. But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him; knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him! For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God. Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.” (Romans 6:6-14 WEB)
Our human spirit that was dead in sin (inherited from Adam) cannot be reformed through good works. The only way we can be freed from sin is to die to it and be resurrected with a completely clean slate.
This is what happens when you first placed your faith in Jesus. Your old self was in that instant crucified with Christ, and the Holy Spirit resurrected you and made you a new spirit. This new spirit has a divine nature because it is joined with the Holy Spirit to become one spirit.
Since death is the penalty of sin, and you have already died, you have been freed from sin.
Now the true you (the reborn spirit) is already having eternal life because you will never die again.
We have to stop identifying ourselves with our mortal flesh. When the New Testament says “you”, it is talking about you the spirit—the real you.
I like how Paul distinguishes the mortal body (“your members”) as “instruments”. You live in a body, but you are not the body!
Imagine that you are a person sitting in a robot and controlling it.
Paul is telling us to control the robot and use it for righteousness to glorify God. Those who do not understand what has happened to their spirit are the ones who let the robots control them.
They leave the robot in autopilot mode and it takes them wherever it wishes, in the form of being driven by sinful passions and evil imaginations of the flesh. The problem is that the robot’s autopilot mode is faulty, and the error causes it to do evil things that are against God’s will.
Yes, sin is still present in the body, but we do not have to obey its solicitations. Sin is not our master anymore.
Instead, we can tune in to our spirit and be led by the Holy Spirit. Let Him supply your robot with the ability to do what is pleasing to God. All you have to do is realize that you are not the robot. You are the one in the driver’s seat. You are actually holy, perfect, blameless, and righteous like Jesus. Time to steer your flesh well as an “instrument of righteousness to God”!
The epistle to the Romans has got to be one of my favorite books of the Bible. For every believer who is new to reading the Bible on their own, I always recommend starting with John and Romans. Starting tomorrow, I will be embarking on a new Patreon Bible Study series focused on Romans. If you want to receive it, join our community as a “God Every Morning” tier or above patron on Patreon. Looking forward to growing in the knowledge and revelation of God’s word with you: http://Patreon.com/miltongohblog

How to Know Whether you Believe the Gospel?
How do you know if you really believe that your sins have been forgiven once-and-for-all? A time of crisis will reveal it.
Right in the midst of your worst failures, if you can confidently declare that you are still the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, then you really believe that you are forgiven by God’s Grace, apart from your works.
God is not shocked that you still fall into sin after being saved. That’s why His word says:
“My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous. And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.” (1 John 2:1-2 WEB)
If you fall into sin, you have a “Paraklétos” (helper, advocate, counselor) who is Jesus Christ. He not only declares to the Father that you are righteous, but He Himself is the reason why you are irrevocably righteous—the precious blood Jesus shed at the cross and the death He died paid for your forgiveness of sins. Perfect atonement has been made for your lifetime of sins. This is really good news (Gospel).
No true believer uses this beautiful truth as an excuse to say that it’s okay to live a life of sin because you’re forgiven anyway.
Although it is true that sin cannot cause a believer to lose his salvation, a person who says, “Feel free to sin as much as you want because you’re still forgiven anyway,” has a love for the world and the lusts of the flesh, so it’s questionable whether someone like that really received Jesus as Lord.
“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer...Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.”
(Romans 6:1-2, 11-14 WEB)
Instead, the truth of total forgiveness of sins is what keeps you from sin. By knowing and believing that you are continuously righteous, it empowers you to live out that truth.
If you are self-condemned, those feelings of unworthiness and dirtiness will only manifest as persistent sinful habits, like accepting that you are a hopeless sinner doomed to repeat your mistakes.
When you fall into sin in moments of weakness, the truth of total forgiveness of sins is your safety net. When you fall, you are not destroyed, but rather you can pick yourself up and continue walking, trusting that God will continue to transform you to live better than before.
The next time you fall into sin, take notice whether you are able to believe and confess that you’re still the righteousness of God in Christ—that you’re unchangeably as righteous as God Himself.
If you can’t, then it means you don’t believe yet—and that area of unbelief is a weakness, so just keep hearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, letting it sink into your heart and become real to you.
