Surrender

When we surrender our lives to the Living God, we are at peace with whatever comes our way.
By Beersheba Maywald

Transformed

Being confident of this very thing: that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it to the Day of Jesus Christ.  Philippians 1:6

Transformation!  That's what God will do for you!

When you surrender your will to Him, God will create in you a clean mind and renew a right spirit within you. (Psalm 51:10).  And you can be confident that having surrendered to God, you will live with Him throughout eternity!

Self Surrendered

Have been reading a book, How to be a victorious Christian by Thomas Davis, 1975, Review & Herald Publishing, Washington DC.

There is no salvation in being a Christian in name only.  Many evil people say they are church goers;  but are they true Christians?  There is no salvation in works alone.

  It startled my mind. There is more to being Christian than just saying I believe in God.

"You believe there is one God?  Good!  Yet even the demons believe that --  and tremble!
James 2:19.

You must let the Holy Spirit and Jesus live in you, you must pray earnestly to Christ, and in Christ keep yourself from wrong-doing. Then you will do what is right because you love the Father and His Son Jesus more than yourself.

  Put God first, then others, then yourself.  Cast away any idols in your life.

"Faith by itself, if it is without works, is dead.". James 2:17.  Neither is there salvation in works only!

It's really not complicated. Just put God first, not yourself.
 Don't be self-centered. Be self surrendered to Jesus!
