Living Fully Surrendered

Paul’s words here are radical. He’s saying that his old self is dead. His ambitions, his plans, and even his sense of identity are all surrendered to Christ. That might sound extreme, but it’s the only way to truly experience the fullness of life in Jesus.

Living fully surrendered doesn’t mean you lose your personality or your passions. It means those things are now directed by Christ. Your life becomes a reflection of His love, His grace, and His power.

The hardest part of surrender is letting go of fear. What if God’s plan is different from yours? What if He asks you to do something uncomfortable? But here’s the truth: the One who loves you enough to die for you can be trusted with every detail of your life.

Paul wrote this letter to the Galatians to address the false teaching that salvation comes through works. His message was clear: it’s all about Jesus. When you surrender to Him, you’re not just saved—you’re transformed.

Take time today to reflect on what it means to be “crucified with Christ.” Write a prayer of surrender, asking Jesus to take control of every area of your life. Then look for one way you can live out that surrender today.
