We are to respond to the gospel through obedient surrender. This does not come naturally to us, since in the garden mankind chose their own will over God’s. We chose disobedience for the sake of our own desires. We chose not to trust, not to surrender. However, true salvation, true freedom can only be found in obedience, in surrender of our will to His, only this leads to the life that is truly life.
