Thought of the Day

A final addition to the "Submitting to God" mini-series.

With all that we've discussed over the last week and a half, what can we now understand from the verses that started this chain?

Sanctification is the process of learning to change our wrong answers into the right ones, under the teaching of the Holy Spirit.

Prayer is a conversation with God. We can talk about Him, us, or others, but we also need to spend time listening to Him.

The Holy Spirit acts as our tutor, teaching us what's right and wrong, then helping us live it out so we can be more like Jesus.

Repentance, a complete change of our actions and direction, is absolutely necessary to become Jesus' friends.

Obedience to God's Word is the proof that we are actually one of Jesus' friends.

Jesus, the perfect student, sacrificed Himself to give His friends an answer key so we can properly interpret the Bible.

The Bible is our textbook, which we can study to learn how God wants us to live.

Submitting to God means completely giving ourselves to Him to be judged, without taking anything back.
