We are to yield ourselvesbody, soul, and spiritto God. Romans 6:12-13 gives us the formula for overcoming sin: Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life, and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. Its about controlas Christians, we can let sin control us, or we can let God control us. (See also Romans 6:16-23, 1 Corinthians 6:9-12, and James 4:6-7.) The scriptural formula leaves no room for hypnosis (yielding ourselves to a fellow human being). hope this helps |
