Am I Completely Surrendered to Christ? // Ask Pastor John
Jesus calls us to renounce all we have to follow him. But how can we gauge if we are fully and completely committed to him?
How do I know if I am completely surrendered to Christ? It’s the question today from a listener named Maria, who listens from the Netherlands. “Dear Pastor John, I’d like to respond to APJ 1459 (‘I’m Afraid of Surrendering to Christ — What Can I Do?’), by posing a follow-up question: How do I know if I am surrendered to Christ completely? I grew up in a Christian home, studied at a Christian college, got married, worked for Christian organizations.
“From the outside, that looks good. From the inside, I wonder: How do you know that you surrendered everything? Is it, for example, a mindset of the heart, which relates to making good choices? Is it listening to a sermon instead of watching a TV show? Reading a Christian book instead of non-Christian fiction? Or is it more related to big things, such as becoming a missionary and doing lots of volunteer work? How do I know if my life is completely surrendered to Christ? I pray throughout the day, but often feel caught up in earthly chores I see no eternal value in.” Pastor John, what would you say to Maria?
