       Anyway, to submit to God—what does the word submit mean? Well, let’s look at some others words that can help us clarify what submit means. To submit means to agree, surrender, abide, indulge, obey, relinquish, and to yield. Basically, we are submitting to God when we are in agreement with him. It’s that simple. There’s nothing hard here. There’s nothing to be afraid of. People who live outside of relationship with God obviously aren’t in agreement with him. And a couple reasons exist as to why it is to our personal benefit to agree with God. Number one, we want to agree with him because we want to have nothing between us and him. Number two, we want to agree with him as his way of living life produces the most happiness and satisfaction for us. Since God created the universe, the world, and us, then it would make sense for us to live how he wants us to live. His ways are the ways that lead us to life. There may not be instant gratification, but really that shouldn’t even be our goal in the first place.
