"For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again."
2 CORINTHIANS 5:16-17
The actual truth in belief in Christ Jesus is that you will receive eternal life. Jesus replaces your human spirit with his spirit - the more you follow his ways - the more you allow him to work. The goal for Jesus is to have you allow him to give you a complete makeover from the spirit. This occurs through faith and obedience.
As you follow him - your old spirit is choked out by the new eternal spirit of Christ Jesus. As this occurs - you become a light for him so others can see him in you. This is his goal.
Surrender is the conscious act setting yourself aside for the Lord. Giving your life to him means that you surrender your will for his will. He is the light - he is the power - he is the hope. To set aside ones life and mature in the truth of Christ Jesus is to know that it is not the blessing of God you seek but the very nature of Christ himself to live in you.
