And Jesus said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s." (Matthew 22:21)
When we live in a nation, we experience the benefits of road, park or it can be various other governmental services. We render means to pay back or give back to the government in the form of our obedience to the laws and payment of various taxes. In the same way, we use render to things of God. When we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, trusting in His incarnation, His crucifixion, His resurrection, His ascension and His seating in the heavenly place. Our old identity conforming to the world and its sinful patterns has ended. We are made new creation in Christ. We experience the blessings of God in our life because all promises are yes in Christ. We simply confess and receive these promises by faith. We render our love, our praise, our worship, our obedience and even our very self because of all the goodness bestowed on us by God the Father through His Son Jesus Christ.
