Our faith is built on subjection to God’s Word. Subjection is a difficult task for a Christian to adopt. It requires that one minimize their own will and desires and maximize Christ’s will and desires according to His Word. Our nature tendency is to act on our own will. By nature, we are selfish and automatically think of ourselves first before we think of others. We must put Christ first before our own will and desires if we are to submit to His Word. Only then can we be empowered by Him to accomplish His will. The apostle Paul put it this way, “for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose” (Philippians 2:13). We must remember that God has a plan for us, and it would be wonderful if we submit to His plan and His Word. The apostle Paul shared these words with the Ephesians: “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10).
