To obtain God’s will, we must surrender ourselves totally to God. Influence of friends and ignorance of godly principles can affect our goal. Deliberate sin can also stop us. So is stubbornness.
Stubbornness grows not out of pride about our own judgment but out of doubt.
Stubbornness grows out of fear of what God may want us to do.
Romans 12:1-2
Living Sacrifices
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God— this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is— his good, pleasing and perfect will.
