Yielded and Still


Yield:
To give in
Synonyms:
Surrender-submit-relent 

The will of God:
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. - Romans 6:13

so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God. - 1 Peter 4:2


He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. - 1 Peter 2:24


1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. - Romans 12:1-2


So according to God's will, we present ourselves as a living sacrifice, instruments for righteousness, holy and acceptable, by the power of Christ and His death and Resurrection and for God's glory.
