Because Jesus is God the Son, commitment and surrender to Him should become a way of life.
1 Peter 4:19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
Bible definitions of the words commit and committed: place alongside, present, by implication to deposit, set before, entrusted, deposited, committed unto, put trust in, to surrender, to yield up, intrust, deliver, give over, or give up.
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Bible definitions of the word submit: to subordinate, to obey, be under obedience, put under, subdue unto, be subject to, make subject to, be put in subjection to, be put under, or submit self unto.
1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
No one who has surrendered to the Lord has ever told me they regretted it. The only time Christians get in trouble with the Lord is when they go their own way instead of His.
