The Fruit of Genuine Surrender

by | Mar 12, 2026

When a heart truly surrenders to Christ, something powerful happens:

The unconditional love Jesus baptizes His sons and daughters with becomes a river of the Holy Spirit’s power flowing through them to others—love poured out freely, with no demand that it be returned.

Have you ever considered why it is so important to God that a man leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife so that the two become one?

  • This oneness is not just about the relationship between a husband and wife—it begins with God Himself at the center. True unity in marriage flows from a shared devotion to the Lord.
  • God’s design is that His sons and daughters would step out from under the shaping influence of their biological father and mother and come fully under His Fatherhood, embracing His Ways and His Truth. In doing so, they also embrace the Church as their spiritual Mother, allowing God’s family to shape their life and direction.
  • This transition is essential because God does not desire His children to live divided—holding on to ideas, traditions, religious doctrines, or fleshly reasoning that stand in opposition to His Truth and Life. Instead, He calls His sons and daughters into wholehearted devotion to Him, where their identity, thinking, and relationships are formed by His Voice, His Word, and His Spirit.
