When it comes to the topic of submission, the Bible has a lot to say.
But at its heart, the teaching on submission is about yielding to the #Lord and #TrustingHim.
In fact, one of the best places to start is with the story of #Abraham in the book of #Genesis.
After God called him to leave his home and #family, #Abraham #submitted to Him, even though he didn’t understand where he was being led.
Later, when God asked Abraham to offer his son #Isaac as a sacrifice, Abraham again yielded to Him, proving his #faith and trust in God.
Another key Bible passage on submission is from Paul’s letter to the #Philippians.
There, Paul calls #Christians to have the same mindset as #Christ, who “did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,” but instead “made himself nothing” and #submitted Himself fully to God.
When we submit ourselves to God, we are acknowledging His authority and power in our lives.
We are also saying that we trust Him enough to follow His direction even if we don’t understand it.
