       Paul said, “Let not.” Let not what? “Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions.” So if we are to let not, that means that we could ‘let.’ It means that if we allow ourselves, we can let sin reign in our mortal bodies. And what will happen if we do this? Well, that sin will take control of us and make us obey its passions. See, even as Christians, as born again followers of God, we can still let sin reign in our bodies if we are not careful. If we are undisciplined in our thoughts, our words, and our behaviors, if we are not consistently seeking to align those with Christ, we can find ourselves involved in sin in no moment's notice. We can “present our members” either to sin or to God. We have the choice. And that’s the difference between the Christian and non-Christian. The Christian has the choice to present his members for righteousness.
