How does faith submit?
1. It gives God a __________________________.
James 4:5 Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose: he jealously desires the Spirit, which he has made to dwell in us?
Another translation, The spirit, which He has made to dwell in us jealously, desires us.
Jeremiah 31:3 / John 3:16
2. Heart adjustment + _______________________________ = Life
James 4:7-8 Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hears you double minded.
Resist – _______________________________________
Proverbs 4:23 – Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life.
3. Faith becomes _________________________.
James 4:10 – Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Phil. 2:5-8 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Submission is an _______________________ of the heart.
