This is the last “Foundation” Sermon.
Next week we will move into the structure of the Church.
So far we have discussed:
The Gospel
Biblical Authority
This weeks concept of Submission to God ties all of these things together.
It is a remarkably simple concept, but it cannot be missed.
What Is Submission?
What is Submission?
One real life example of this word being used is in fighting.
Someone can win by submission.
“the action or fact of accepting or yielding to a superior force or to the will or authority of another person.”
There are all sorts of ways that we have to submit on a regular basis.
As people, we do not like to submit.
You won’t tell me what to do!
Submission and Surrender are similar.
The first thing we must do is to submit or surrender our life to Christ.
We make Him our LORD and SAVIOR
It can be easy to focus on the Savior part and ignore the Lord part.
The question in salvation is not whether Jesus is Lord, but whether we are submissive to His lordship.
-John MacArthur
LORD means he is in control.
This means that....
Submission Means We Are to Be Obedient
“If you love me, you will keep my commands.”
Examples through Scripture.
God wants us to be obedient.
When God commands us to do something, God expects us to do it.
This is a primary focus throughout the entire Bible!
The first sin was an act of disobedience from their one command.
It was a refusal to submit to the authority of God.
This DOES NOT equal salvation.
Salvation comes is by grace through faith.
NOT because of what we do.
However, our works are the PROOF of our salvation.
It is not the root of our salvation, but it is the fruit of our salvation.
Goes further, like fruit, our good works plant seeds.
Faith without obedience is hypocrisy
Submission is Motivated By Love
“If you love me...”
Obedience is not motived by fear.
Obedience is not motivated by obligation.
Submission is motivated by Love.
Our walk with Christ is based upon love.
The idea of how we limit ourselves because of love.
(I.E.
Marriage)
We submit ourselves to various regulations because of our love.
Marriage.
If we love someone.
It is not a burden to submit to them.
Submission is Empowered by The Holy Spirit
Upon explaining his departure and explaining the need for obedience, Jesus tells them he will give them another Counselor (The Holy Spirit).
Paraclete- The “helper” like a pair of cleats help you have traction.
Often the most ignored aspect of the Trinity.
Or abused.
Without the power of the Holy Spirit, we are powerless to overcome sin.
God did not call us to something he did not give us the ability to do.
Like trying to do a task with and without the right tool.
With the help of the Holy Spirit we are enabled to walk free from the power of sin in our lives.
We still struggle with the flesh and will fail.
Submission Glorifies God
Submission is in all things because God is worth it.
Lives will be changed and transformed.
Not only will people be saved from their sins, but they will be transformed to look like Christ!
The Church will do Gospel ministry that will change the community.
People will make decisions based upon obedience to God, rather than selfish ambition.
We become people who have not only heard the word, but have done what it says.
