SUBMITTED TO JESUS CHRIST
“I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees, and laws’ then you will live.” Deuteronomy 30:16 Now the things done may not be evil or improper; they in fact may be good and godly (such as reading the Bible, praying, worshiping, preaching); but if they are not undertaken in a spirit of complete reliance upon the Holy Spirit, then the flesh is the source of all. The old creation is willing to do anything-even to submit to God - if only it is permitted to live and to be active! ◼ Watchman Nee
The Meaning of Submission Obedience means to comply with the orders or instructions of another person. Obedience has in its meaning submission. In the Greek New Testament, the English word is expressed by the word hupotasso. It literally means “to be under, to arrange under, to subordinate, to subject oneself.”5
