Don't stay stagnant at just Accepting Jesus , Surrender your all that you may grow..
1. Accepting Christ:
This is the beginning of the journey.
Accepting Christ means:
You believe in Jesus
You receive Him as your Savior
You acknowledge that He died for your sins
You confess Him (Romans 10:9)
At this stage:
You are saved
You become a child of God
Your sins are forgiven
But… many people stop here.
It is possible to accept Christ but still live mostly on your own terms, holding on to old habits, desires, and control over your life.
2. Surrendering Your Life to Christ
This is a deeper walk, lordship, not just salvation.
Surrender means:
You give Jesus full control over your life
Not just your sins, but your will, plans, desires, and decisions
You stop saying “my life” and start living “His life through me”
It is a daily posture of:
Obedience
Yielding
Dying to self
As Scripture says:
“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” (Galatians 2:20)
The Key Difference
Accepting Christ → “Save me.”
Surrendering to Christ → “Lead me.”
Accepting Christ → Receives salvation
Surrendering to Christ → Produces transformation
Accepting Christ → Jesus as Saviour
Surrendering to Christ → Jesus as Lord
Simple Illustration
Think of it like this:
Accepting Christ is inviting Him into your house. Surrendering is handing Him the keys to every room, not just the clean areas, but:
Your thoughts
Your relationships
Your ambitions
Your hidden struggles
Why This Matters
Many believers are frustrated because:
They are saved…
But not transformed
Transformation happens when surrender begins.
That is where:
Character changes
Spiritual authority grows
God begins to trust you with more.
A Simple Prayer of Surrender
“Lord Jesus, I have accepted You, but today I go deeper.
I surrender my will, my plans, my desires, and my life completely to You.
Be not just my Savior, but my Lord.
Lead me, shape me, and use me for Your glory.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Thank you Jesus .
