Have you wondered what surrender practically look like as a Christian.
Humility
John 5:30
NOT ABLE. Doesn't read 'doesn't want to.'
False truth is believing I have power outside of God.
He is power source enabling me to do anything.
When I am disconnected from Him, I have no power
Death
Mark 8:35
This verse is repeated six times throughout the gospel.
You can't gain resurrection life without dying first.
God is my savior, I am not my own savior.
I will lose my life in eternity by trying to preserve it myself.
It is through the Father only, that I receive salvation.
This includes dying " mini deaths" also known as death from sin.
Limitation
John 5:19
Follow the Lord's example
Focus on becoming more Christlike over seeking your own control and agenda.
Trust
Genesis 22:2,4
Abraham didn't have all the details upfront
He didn't know things like where he was going or how long it would take to get there.
I need to let go of my own timelines
I need to obey before understanding.
Belief
Romans 8:28
Do you believe this promise from God?
Sit with this truth and rest in it's surety.
Thanks be to God.
