True submission would include obedience huh? Has any man been completely faithful and obedient to God? It is the reason for God to provide the atonement through Jesus Christ who was obedient and submissive to the will of his Father, Who was tempted and remained perfect and who was crucified and was resurrected and did overcome sin and death. The only way to the Father is through the Son who did provide the atonement.
All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
God is not in any man's debt and owes no man anything salvation is a free gift from a righteous and merciful God to whome we are eternaly indebted.

Seems more like a sermon than a question, to wordy for me, I don't like the cut and paste answers or questions.
Peace!

The best conclusion to come to is that the Lord of Abraham wants us all to VOLUNTARILY submit ourselves to his commands in this world....... the test is that we have a choice to do it or not to do it.
Those who do, will be rewarded and those who do not choose God above themselves will find a different ending.
Those who "imprison" their desires (to rebel) in this world will be LIBERATED in the eternal hereafter which will be a life of bliss that lasts for billions and billions of years.
He will give everlasting success in the Paradise in the next world for such a difficult choice in this short life.
It is actually a bargain of the greatest type….. IF WE BELIEVE in the unseen, unproven hereafter !
We must have faith in the promises in the hereafter and other things we have not seen because God has told us about them in his books, which were sent by his Prophets.
Read all the details of how beautiful paradise is and how it will be the fulfillment of EVERY DESIRE in the heart.
God will fulfill our every desire in the hereafter for ever and ever IF ……. We sacrifice those very same desires for HIM in this short life.
But we do not submit ourselves to God only to get what he has promised in the hereafter, we submit ourselves because we LOVE God more than anything and to prove it will even sacrifice the most beloved thing to us – our self (desires) to prove our love.
This is a choice that strikes at the very heart of our "self" which means it roots out all innner pride.
We want to break the idols in our hearts and follow the laws of God over and above our desires....... that is the meaning of submission to the will of GOD.
Those who choose FREEDOM (from obeying Gods strict laws) in this world will feel imprisoned the next world.
We have been given full freedom of choice. God will test us to see how much we really believe in the hereafter....... if anyone has doubts then they will not be able to sacrifice the "good life" with all the enjoyments.
Only those who truly believe in the hereafter will be able to sacrifice the temporary "fun" for the everlasting "fun".
The choice is yours !
----------
Rebellion in this world will bring freedom and excitement in this world but will bring eternal worries in the hereafter.
To love God is to love him from the core of our hearts and be ready to sacrifive everything for him ........ especially our desires.
Look for the faith that offers a balance of religious guidelines and also offers spiritual fulfillment that you see women enjoy.
There is a feeling of protection when women live within the legal structure of Gods laws.
As a test God has placed the most peace in obediance that from the "outside" looks so difficult or even oppressive.
Yet those ladies who choose to follow it feel as if they are the most free women on earth .
Freedom from making ourselves and our own desires into a god to follow.
The more we sacrifice for our beloved one the more beloved he becomes to us and the more beloved we become to him.
