Do You Really YIELD? - John A Halford - February 1982

John A Halford

Your Bible tells you to "yield yourself unto God." But do you know exactly what the Bible means when it says "yield"? Don't be too sure! You've seen the traffic sign that says "Yield," haven't you? It means, basically: "You don't have the right of way. Give the other traffic priority." So when you see a yield sign, you know what to do. When you see the word yield in the Bible, you also know what to do, right? Not necessarily. There is more to yielding than meets the eye. Yield is not one of the more common words in the English Bible. But in Romans 6, Paul uses it several times to explain our responsibility to God and His law, once we are baptized. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
