Limerick



There once was a man who was free
From sin and its chains he was freed
He now had a choice
To follow the Lord’s voice
And no longer be bound by his greed

Potential actions to take in response



One practical way to respond to the teaching of the bible passage Romans 6.12-end is to practice self-control. As Paul writes in verses 12-13, “Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.” Self-control can help to resist temptation and keep us from obeying our “evil desires” or making wrong decisions. It can also help us to be more aware of our thoughts, feelings, and actions, so that we can be more in tune with God’s will. With self-control, we can be mindful of our spiritual journey and ensure that we are living the life God has intended for us.
