Holy Spirit In Us -Surrender Part 4(a)

Jun 15, 2025    Bob DeFelice

In our spiritual journey, we often find ourselves wrestling with the concept of surrender. This message delves deep into the heart of what it means to truly give ourselves over to God. The story of the rich young ruler in Mark 10:17-27 serves as a powerful illustration of the struggle many of us face. We're reminded that it's not about a checklist of good deeds, but about letting go of our pride and trusting fully in God's plan. The question 'What must I do to be saved?' echoes through time, from the rich young ruler to the jailer in Acts 16. The answer remains constant: believe, repent, and surrender. This message challenges us to examine our own lives and ask ourselves: what are we holding onto that's preventing us from fully embracing God's will? It's a call to action, urging us to fill the God-shaped hole in our hearts not with worldly possessions or accomplishments, but with a genuine relationship with our Creator.
