If we surrender our lives to God, He will take control of our lives and rescue us from the darkness of the world. We think we are very wise and able to protect ourselves. But in reality, we are weak and cannot protect ourselves when danger comes to our lives.
God wants us to surrender our lives completely to Him. The Lord Jesus Christ completely surrendered His will to Him and the Father. That is why He was able to protect Himself from all the evil plans of Satan and was able to fulfill the will of the Father.
In order to overcome the evil in this world, we must submit to God. When we surrender our lives completely to God, God becomes the driver of our lives. He brings us from the darkness of our world to His light.
Therefore, we should surrender ourselves completely at the feet of God. Through this, we will be able to enjoy true life.
