Imagine your life on cruise control, spiritual cruise control. When you set your car on cruise control, you have set a limit on the speed that will more than likely prevent you from committing a crime such as going over the speed limit and will protect you. When we give our lives to God, we have set our life on cruise control. We are saying Lord, I want you to take control, and I want to live in the limits that you have set for me. 

“For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,” Hebrews 10:26

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.  Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.”  James 4:7-8
