There are seven levels of submission I found in the Bible.
1-The first and lowest level of submission is the submission in defeat.
2-There is a second level of submission higher than the submission of defeat, which I would call a half-hearted submission. It is a submission to God which is reluctant, which tends to argue and is somewhat unwilling to submit.
3-The third level involves a submission to command. As far as we know, dedication is not necessarily involved; a person moving in this kind of submission could simply understand the letter of the word and be submissive to it.
4-The fourth level is submission just to a request or a suggestion. It is not that the person feels a negative and/or a binding obligation, but rather that the submission is so complete in their life that they respond to the least suggestion or hint as though it were the law of their life.
5-The fifth level of submission is still a little higher than the submission to a suggestion or a wish. I would describe it as a submission that has an eager anticipation in it.
6-The sixth level, though not the highest, is the level that most of us should aspire to. It is the silent support and ministry in submission. It is exemplified in David. In his submission to God, there were times when he did not know what to do, but his submission had a quality about it that could wait; it was a silent waiting and supporting ministry.
7- The highest level of submission of all is found within our Lord. In the garden, sweating blood and facing the cross, Jesus said, “Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not My will, but Thine be done” (Matthew 26:39). It is the submission of a bond servant.
