Bible Question:
I have a friend, and they are saved, but right now they're struggling with surrendering to God their whole life. They asked me a question, and I'm not sure how to answer it. They asked "How do you surrender to God?" If you have any suggestions on how to answer this question, or an answer to the question, I'd be grateful. John |
Bible Answer: Hello In Romans 6:6 we read about the old man being "crucified". The seriousness of this issue cannot be underestimated. How can we be half dead. We are not Christs unless we are His wholly. There is no half way when we are surrendered to God. Either we are in the flesh, serving the lust thereof, or we are in the Spirit to live the life of Jesus through His righteousness. The new birth is so drastic that Paul equates it with death. In Ezekiel 36:26-27 we read about the new heart which will be given to those who accept Christ as their Lord and Saviour. This is nothing less than a heart transplant, not a repairing of the old. God Bless you Jeff W |
