"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20
Total Surrender
We live in a world where surrender can be a dangerous practice. We think of surrendering as something that you do when you no longer have any reason to keep fighting. But when it comes to surrendering our lives to God, we gain far more than we ever had to lose in the first place. We gain the life-giving relationship that we could never have with God by our own power. We are given an eternity to spend with Him. We gain wisdom and comfort from God, who has an endless supply for His children.
In a world where surrendering seems like a weakness, we want students to see that surrendering to God is the most important thing that they can ever do. Over the course of Total Surrender, we are going to talk about the initial surrender of giving our lives to Christ. But why stop there? Surrendering our lives is not a one-time event, but a daily occurrence that requires faith and focus.
God calls us to surrender our past, present, and future. He calls us to surrender our minds and bodies. He calls us to live as a people set apart in the world, and to live as He has demonstrated. He has called us to totally surrender ourselves to Him in every possible way.
Jesus tells us that whoever loses their life for His sake will ultimately find it (Matthew 10:39). God’s desire for us to surrender to Him is not so that we would be left with nothing but rather that whatever we thought we had before could be replaced with the only thing that we will ever truly need: God Himself.
