Complete Submission.

Mark 10:28-29
28 Peter said to him, "We have left everything to follow you!"
29 "I tell you the truth," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel

God responded to Peter by saying the purpose of surrendering is for the sake of knowing him and the gospel. Don't twist your motivation for total submission based on the personal gains that can be achieved from it. Yes, if you stay away from sin, you are righteous with God, but that's not the right mindset to have. Think about it: how many times do we go to God to receive something from him instead of turning to God because he is God? It's like going to God, but saying "God, I want myself only, but still please do your magic and make me new again. Forget about the showcase of what God has given you. A true, total complete surrender is strongly desiring Jesus Christ.

Additionally, there are going to be days or even weeks where we have a difficult time concentrating on God 100 percent. There may be family issues or personal problems, but we cannot make excuses or else we're not really disciples of Christ.

Lastly, I want to say that total submission to God goes further than passion and devotion. It suggests that you won't give up and that you will continue to trust that God will provide. Learn to truly experience not just imagine.
