Surrender to Jesus

Repentance is having a changed mind. Repentance should, therefore, change behavior and attitude and values. If your changed mind does not persevere through the difficulties in life by faith, and becomes changed back to unbelief, it is possible to be stuck there.

So – apply faith and patience to every aspect of your life. They are fruit of who Jesus is in you by His Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Faith and patience. You can overcome whatever stands against you by faith and perseverance (patience). No one is worthy to be surrendered to but Jesus. Don’t surrender to anyone or anything else.

For it is impossible to renew to repentance those who were once enlightened, who tasted the heavenly gift, became companions with the Holy Spirit, tasted God’s good word and the powers of the coming age, and who have fallen away, because, to their own harm, they are recrucifying the Son of God and holding Him up to contempt. For ground that has drunk the rain that has often fallen on it, and that produces vegetation useful to those it is cultivated for, receives a blessing from God. But if it produces thorns and thistles, it is worthless and about to be cursed, and will be burned at the end.
Even though we are speaking this way, dear friends, in your case we are confident of the better things connected with salvation. For God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you showed for His name when you served the saints—and you continue to serve them. Now we want each of you to demonstrate the same diligence for the final realization of your hope, so that you won’t become lazy, but imitators of those who inherit the promises through faith and perseverance.
