Submission
For Jesus, it meant enduring the cross (Matthew 26-27). For Paul, it was facing persecution and imprisonment (2 Corinthians and Philippians). Abraham obeyed by leaving his homeland (Genesis 12:1-9), while Moses submitted by leading Israel out of slavery (Exodus 4:18-21).
Throughout Scripture, countless others—Jacob, Samuel, Isaiah, Ananias, Joshua—embraced submission to fulfill God’s purpose.
Your submission may require stepping into the uncomfortable or the unknown, but whatever it is, follow Christ’s example—stay unwavering and committed (Matthew 26:39).
Our feelings can be a barrier, but beyond them lies the joy and fulfillment God has prepared for us—when we submit (Hebrews 12:2).
Submitting to God is not a loss—it's a gain
Ultimately, submitting to God isn’t about losing control—it’s about gaining everything He has prepared for us. It brings fulfillment because it aligns us with His perfect will, unlocking purpose, peace, and divine favor.
Powerful: Surrendering to God connects us to His limitless strength (2 Corinthians 12:9). It allows Him to work through us, breaking barriers, overcoming obstacles, and leading us to victory (James 4:7).
Impactful: When we submit, we become instruments of His plan, influencing those around us. From Abraham to Paul, submission led to transformation—not just in their lives but in the lives of countless others (Romans 12:1-2; Acts 2:41).
Fulfilling: True fulfillment comes from living out God’s purpose. Submission may require sacrifice, but it leads to a life of joy, peace, and eternal reward (Matthew 16:24-25, Hebrews 12:2). It frees us from anxiety, as we trust His plans, knowing they are for our good (Jeremiah 29:11).
Submission to God may sound scary, evoking feelings of vulnerability and fear of losing control, but it's actually rewarding.

A call for salvation
When you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, His spirit will become one with yours. This is one of the greatest blessings of salvation. You don't have to go through someone else to get to God, as you and Him are now one.
All you must do is receive salvation, simply choosing to repent of your sins and welcome Jesus into your life by confessing Him as Lord. In Romans 10:9 Paul said, "If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Here's a Prayer that you can pray to get saved:
Jesus, I confess that you are Lord, and I believe in my heart that you died and were risen for my sins. I ask for forgiveness of my sins, and I accept you as my personal Lord and Savior—in Jesus' name, Amen.
After this step, pray for guidance to find a ministry where you can grow spiritually, gain knowledge about the kingdom, and begin living the abundant life promised by Jesus.
