All I See Is, JESUS!

You Will Never Get To Know GOD Until You Get To Know The LORD Jesus Christ.

Shared by Apostle James R Winfree Sr, We Are Making The Truth Of Jesus Christ Known!

My Studies and Biblical Answer: In all the New Testament incidences where The Word submits occurs, the word is translated from the Greek word hupotasso. The hupo means "under" and the tasso means "to arrange." This word and a root of it are also translated by the words subject and subjection. The word's full meaning is "to obey, put under, be subject to, submit oneself unto, put in subjection under or be under obedience or obedient to." The word was used as a military term meaning "to arrange troop divisions in a military fashion under the command of a leader." This word is a wonderful definition of what it means to "submit" to GOD. It means to arrange oneself under the command of Divine viewpoint rather than to live according to one's old way of life-based on a human viewpoint. It is a process surrendering our own will to that of our Father's.

The Scripture has a great deal to say about being in submission to the "The LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST." This has reference to the established principles that GOD has ordained in our world the government and the leaders, in whatever capacity, that GOD has placed in authority over us on this earth. 

Passages that teach this principle are Romans 13:1-7; Hebrews 13:17; 1 Peter 2:13-14; and Titus 3:1. The principle is that being in obedience to the authority over us, whatever that authority is, will bring a temporal blessing in real time here and now and, for the Believer in the LORD, reward later.

 The Highest Authority is GOD In CHRIST JESUS, and He delegates authority to others; so, in order to submit to GOD, we submit to the authority He has placed over us first in The LORD JESUS CHRIST. You will notice that there are no caveats that distinguish between good or bad authority or even just or unjust authority. We are just to humble ourselves and obey as "unto the LORD CHRIST."

We are also told to submit ourselves to The LORD JESUS CHRIST (James 4:7). In Ephesians we read the wife is to submit to her husband as unto The LORD and the husband is to "Love" his wife (Ephesians 5:22-25). The Apostle Peter writes, “Young men, in the same way, be submissive to those who are older in the faith. 

All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, ‘GOD opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble’” (1 Peter 5:5). The theme here is one of humility. One cannot submit to GOD without humility to JESUS CHRIST. Obedience requires us to humble ourselves to surrender to the authority of another, and we are told that GOD resists pride the opposite of humility and the arrogance that fosters that pride.

Therefore, having a humble and submissive heart is a choice we make. That means as Born-Again Believers we daily make a choice to submit ourselves to GOD In JESUS CHRIST for the work that the Holy Spirit does in us to "conform us to The Image of Christ." GOD will use the situations of our lives to bring us the opportunity to submit to Him (Romans 8:28-29). 

The Jesus Christ Believers then accepts His grace and provision to walk in The Spirit and not after the manner of the old nature. That work is accomplished by choosing to apply ourselves to The Word of GOD and to learn about the provisions that our Heavenly Father has made for us in Christ Jesus. 
From the moment we are born again, we have all the provisions we need, in Christ, to become a mature Believer in Jesus our Lord, but we have to make the choice to learn about those provisions through a study of GOD'S Holy Word and to apply His Truth to our daily lives and walk in Jesus Christ. Amen Church.


We have to choose to submit to our Spiritual Heavenly Father in Christ for the process of learning in order to grow spiritually. It is a process begun at salvation and ongoing with each and every choice that we make to submit ourselves to God. This process will continue until the Lord comes again or He calls us home.
 The wonderful thing about this is that, as the Apostle Paul so aptly states, "But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by The Spirit of the Lord" (2 Corinthians 3:18).

DAD does not require us to submit because He is a tyrant, but because He is a loving Father and He knows what is best for us. The blessings and peace that we gain from humbly surrendering and submitting ourselves to Jesus Christ daily are a gift of grace that nothing in this world can compare to. Church, Amen.

We Are Leading All Believers And Souls To GOD Our Blessed Savior The LORD JESUS CHRIST.
