Our Will Must Surrender

"Don't your realize that you becomethe slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to in, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteou living." Romans 6:16

It needs to be said that a world of confusion result from trying to believe without obeying. Nothing genuine has been done in a man or woman's life until his or her will has been surrendered in active obedience. The Christian doctrine of obedience to God and to His will is now largeley neglected in todays religious circles, many church folks seem to feel that our obligatin to obey has been discharged by the act of believing in Jesus Christ at the beginning of our Christian lives. We need to remember that "the will is the seat of true religion in the soul."

A mere passive surrender may be no surrender at all. Any real submission to the will of God must include willingness to take orders from Him from that time on.

The filling of the Holy Spirit is only possible to thoe who obey Him in all things.
