Let Your Life Reflect Your Lord

Romans 6:12-14; 16-18
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. 13 Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. 14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.

This part of Romans talks about whom we make ourselves slaves to. In other words - who do we make our lord. If we have trusted in Jesus Christ and believe that He died for our sins and rose again, then we are free from any dominion sin has over us. We do not have to have any lifestyle of sin. We have the choice to be slaves of righteousness. If we reflect righteousness with our lives, then we show who our true Lord is.
