Paul under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit wrote in Philippians 2:9-11, “Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth.” Jesus Christ is the Lord of lords. Peter did this on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:36). After the resurrection of Christ, the apostles ministered to the people, stating that Jesus is Lord. We are not to be like those who say “Lord, Lord” and do not do what He says (Luke 6:46).Īcknowledging Jesus Christ as Lord is also stating that Jesus is God. Acknowledgement of His lordship accompanies submission and obedience to His instruction, which we find in Scripture. As believers in Christ, we have been purchased with His own blood (Acts 20:28). Christ is our Master, and we are to submit to Him. The use of the word Lord means to be supreme in authority. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.” This is the word of faith to be proclaimed, and part of that proclamation of the gospel involves acknowledging Jesus is Lord. Romans 10:9-10 tells us, “Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Some may be turned off in focusing on Him being Lord, but this is important to understand as believers in Christ. We do not declare it or speak it into existence. The Word of God plainly tells us that Jesus is Lord and Savior. Yet, I cannot help but to agree with Voddie on this matter. You see, I have heard many times in years past of deciding to make Jesus your Lord and Savior. It may seem more like semantics, but when I think about having made sincere statements about making Jesus my Lord and Savior, I can see the error. I listened to this sermon from Voddie Baucham about the Gospel, Evangelism, and Discipleship, and I could not help but listen to this particular clip several times. In a matter of fifty-five seconds, another layer of the proverbial onion was being peeled. You don’t bequeath Lordship.” Voddie Baucham If you make Him your Lord that means you’re Lord because you told your Lord what to do. info under CC BY 3.“Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.” Acts 2:36 ESV Some scripture references/categories courtesy of Open Bible.
