LORDSHIP — A NEW MASTER (PART 1)
Lordship is one of the central messages of the Bible. (Acts 2:36) Jesus is referred to as “Lord” ninety-two times in the book of Acts and 747 times in the whole New Testament, while being referred to as “Savior” only twice in Acts and twenty-four times in the New Testament. The Biblical emphasis is overwhelmingly on the concept of Lordship. Lord means master, the one who calls the shots, the one who makes the decisions.
Lordship and Salvation
The starting point of salvation is the acknowledgment of the Lordship of Christ. Confessing Jesus is Lord implies a submission to His Lordship in every area of life. If Jesus is not Lord of all, He’s not Lord at all. We don’t have the option of receiving Him as Savior and not as Lord. Salvation is an all-or-nothing proposal. (Romans 10:9)
