SURRENDERING TO GOD

Answer:

Throughout scripture, the practice of spiritual surrender is clear and encouraged.

A spiritual surrender is an act of faith that chooses failure over death in order to keep hope alive. It is the initial act of people seeking salvation and a lifelong habit for those who live with Christ. Spiritual surrender involves relinquishing control and trusting God.

Surrender to Christ is a crushing blow to our body. "I was crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live.." (Galatians 2:20). However, it is not the conclusion of the verse. When you give your life to Christ, you gain fresh hope and new life: "...but Christ living in me." That fleshly life I now live is based on trust in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me."

Yes, you must give up or surrender your old self, but once you do, the power of sin over you is shattered. "knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, so the body of sin may be done away with, and we would no longer be bound to sin" (Romans 6:6). When you dedicate your life to Christ, you do not give up your God-given identity and distinctiveness. You're not surrendering as a defeated hero, but as a fugitive from this planet, fleeing a life of enslavement, famine, and torture. We submit not because we are afraid or threatened, but because we believe that the One to whom we surrender has a better life in store for us. And that hope is not dashed.
