But why is surrender necessary?


Good point.  I think we need to decide whether God wants man to stand up or surrender the wheel to Him.  If xtians believe He created man in his image does that mean God too surrenders Himself to something higher?  That might explain His OT behavior and that should stand as warning to xtians who think surrendering responsibility is such a good idea.
