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: When we talk about surrendering to the God we mean we forsake the lusts of this world. 1 John 2:15-17 (NKJV) 15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. How do you do it? You have to make a conscious decision that you would rather serve God than serve the lusts of your flesh. It is not always easy to do but one that is required if we are truly going to surrender to God. EdB |
