1 | Does Christ come into our hearts? | Rom 10:9 | Hank | 210338 | ||
Hi, Justme :: Yes indeed, "surrender" is an apt word to use here, far more meaningful and powerful than "invite" or "ask." To invite or ask in does not necessarily imply that one is submitting to the authority of whomever is being invited or asked in. To surrender to always does. ...... Back in the mid 1930s a popular actress wrote a thin little book called "Why Not Try God?" The title has always bothered me. We don't "try" God. In a real sense He tries us. Similiarly, we must surrender to Christ as our Lord and Savior. I don't believe it quite captures the believer's true relationship with his Lord merely to say we "invite" Him in. The old hymn says it pretty well I think: "All to Jesus I surrender, all to Him I freely give. I surrender all." ...... Justme, I'm sure that the Missouri Ozarks are lovely this time of year, second only in grandeur to the Arkansas Ozarks. :-) Grace to you. --Hank | ||||||

Dear Hank: Well, Hank, I guess it's true, great minds do think alike! ;-) That hymn (I Surender All) has been going through my head ever since I read Justme's post over an hour ago! You sure hit home, Justme! :-) God bless john |

john: When in battle to surrender means "I am yours". When we surrender to Christ, the battle of sin which is the side we have been on, we turn from and surrender. Except to surrender to Christ there is shame on our part, but full pardon for being on the sin side, which is salvation. Thus the word redemption. I am so underserving of His grace and mercy. justme |
