About this sermon
The center of the eternal life now is the surrendered will. Because God is always near and hears all who call upon Him, the barriers to eternal living are primarily within us. (John 4:23-24, Romans 10:8, Acts 17:26-28) They inhabit us and inhibit us through the various dimensions of human personality. Join Dallas as he explains the fundamental parts of the person (as Jesus describes them in Mark 12) learn how the dimensions of the person work together, where action comes from, and why the first step always involves the surrender of the will. Dallas uses the example of Paul in Romans 7 and Romans 8, explains death to self, and how/when desire is a problem. Another insightful Q&A session begins around the 50-minute mark.
