We previously looked at how eternal life is a personal relationship with God. Our relationship, however, must reflect that God is the Creator and we are His creation – He is King, and we are not. We must submit to God. Unfortunately, we have believed the lie that God is not worthy of our submission. We have rejected Him. Paul says this three times in Romans 1:
“For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him…” (v. 21)
“because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen” (v. 25)
“And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God,” (v. 28)
