Mark 8:35 - Full Surrender.

Mark 8:35 (NLT) If you try to hang on to 
your life, you will lose it. But if you give up 
your life for my sake and for the sake of the 
Good News, you will save it.  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   A police sergeant once asked me the 
secret of victorious Christian living. I told him 
there is no magic formula. But if any one word 
could describe it, it would be surrender. You may 
ask, "How can I surrender my life?" It is 
surrendered in the same way that salvation comes to the 
sinner. There needs to be confession of sin and a 
complete yielding of every area of our lives, 
personalities, and wills to Jesus Christ - plus faith that 
Christ will accept that commitment. 
   It's not enough for us to be confirmed or 
to make a decision for Christ at an altar. We 
cannot walk successfully in the glow of that 
experience for the rest of our lives. We need to return 
and renew those vows and covenants with the 
Lord. We need to take inventory and have regular 
spiritual checkups. 
   Jesus said, "If anyone desires to come 
after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his 
cross daily, and follow Me" (Luke 9:23). Daily 
surrender - that's the key to daily victory. [Hope for 
Each Day by Billy Graham]
