Matthew 16:24-25

24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 

To surrender is to observe, submit and follow the leadership and Lordship of Jesus over your life. 

“If not to God, you will surrender to the opinions or expectations of others, to money, to resentment, to fear, or to your own pride, lusts, or ego. You were designed to worship God and if you fail to worship Him, you will create other things (idols) to give your life to. You are free to choose, what you surrender to but you are not free from the consequence of that choice.” 

― Rick Warren

Surrendering is a consistent daily practice. 

Our sinful nature always tries to take the lead. 

This is why surrendering to God is important. 

To Surrender is to embrace Christ. 

“He who began a good work in you, will carry it through…”

Philippians 1:6
