I
Surrender All |

The greatest truth in
the world is that Jesus Christ the Son of God died for our sins and that
through faith in Him we can be saved from our sins, spiritual death and
hell. The simplest yet most profound promise is that
if we confess our sins He is
faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness. This is all encapsulated in perhaps the
greatest
declaration in all of Holy
Scripture in John 3:16-18:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only
Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have
eternal life." God did not send his Son into the world to
condemn it, but to save it. There is no judgment awaiting those who
trust him. But those who do not trust him have already been judged for
not believing in the only Son of God. |

The greatest most
momentous thing that anyone can do is to surrender their heart to
Christ. God surrendered himself to us when He gave his Son who
surrendered to the cross-the symbol and instrument of death.
Christ died for our
sins. |

Dr. Richard S. Taylor
writes in Life in the Spirit p. 99: The fundamental work without
which faith is spurious is surrender. This is true in all the stages of
the Christian life, whether conversion, sanctification or any subsequent
crisis. Surrender is the submission of our will to the Lordship of
Jesus, an unreserved and uncompromising yes to His terms whether in
small or large issues. |

In
church we sing: I Surrender All.
Surrender to Him now. You will never regret it in this life
or eternity! I promise! |
