998. “Yourselves”

The Spirit’s commands are concise in expression, and consecrating as they are obeyed.

1. Dead to sin in the death of Christ. “Reckon yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin,” etc. (Rom_6:11).

2. Definite in consecration. “Yield yourselves unto God” (Rom_6:13, Rom_6:16).

3. Distinct in discernment. “Examine yourselves” and prove whether in the faith (2Co_13:5).

4. Desire to take a second place. “Submitting yourselves one to another” (Eph_5:21).

5. Direct your praise to the Lord, by “speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns, and spiritual songs,” and in all making melody to the Lord (Eph_5:19).

6. Divine, from whence true comfort comes. “Wherefore comfort ye yourselves together” (1Th_5:11).

7. Disturb not the Divine word of “Be at peace among yourselves” (1Th_5:13).
