Living for God is what we are to do everyday of our lives. We are the disciples of Jesus Christ. As the disciples, we must be obedient to the word of God. The Word of God teaches us to live a life that obeys God in all things. There is only one way by which a person can please God. It is by taking heed to the commandments of God. The commandments of God are not grievous. They are not burdensome. We are the children of God. We should not live in sin. Sin does not glorify God, it glorifies the devil.
The nature of sin is in our body. Our body always wants to do those things that does not bring glory and honour to God. It is inherent in our flesh to always want to disobey God. The body of flesh cannot do the will of God. This is the reason why we something see ourselves doing those things which we do not want to do. We are having in our hearts the desire to do what is right but we see ourselves falling into the same sin which we do not want to do. This is the dilemma of the sinful man.
How can we overcome this? We are not going to overcome the flesh by our own power. It cannot be possible. We must yield ourselves to the word of God and allow the Holy Spirit to lead us. It is a task which we must strive daily to accomplish. Let us yield our members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
