"Submitting to God"

“Submitting to God”

The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law nor can it do so.  Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.     Romans 8:7-8



SUBMIT: to give or yield to another power or authority.



Some find it hard and uneasy to SUBMIT, because they think it shows weakness or the inability to carry out certain tasks or ideas.  However, the Apostle Paul tells us that when our minds are GOVERNED or CONTROLLED by the FLESH, they are HOSTILE to God.  And they are UNABLE to SUBMIT to God and His Laws.  When we are in the flesh, we CANNOT please God, because the FLESH is SINFUL and God is HOLY, therefore, the things we do in the FLESH will NOT be PLEASING to GOD.  That is why we should SUBMIT to Him and His Laws.



When a person leaves God out of their lives and ignores the fact that God is RIGHTEOUS and we are NOT.  They put themselves at GREAT RISK.  Mankind cannot have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with God, without being made RIGHTEOUS, and this is something they CANNOT do on their own.  It MUST be done through the PROCESS of SUBMITTING to the HOLY RIGHTEOUS GOD of Heaven, which is carried out through the DEATH, and RESURRECTION of His One and Only Son, the LORD JESUS CHRIST.   Christ did this so that there may be RIGHTEOUSNESS for EVERYONE who BELIEVES.



So HUMBLE yourselves and SUBMIT to God, in order to have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with Him, and be able to have His RIGHTEOUSNESS, and to become a recipient of His MERCY and GRACE.  And to CHANGE your DESTINY from an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, to an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  To do that you MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and SUBMIT TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  Then BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  And ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and be PLEASING to Him, because you have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
