Jesus As Lord

The Word of God says "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (Roman: 10:9, King James). It is not enough to take Jesus as your Savior, you must acknowledge His lordship over your life. One of the difficulties that confronts many of us is we wish to have Jesus as Savior but not as our Lord. Many people want Him as their Savior from Hell, but they don't want Him as their Ruler on earth.

If Jesus becomes your Lord, He will want to have His say in regard to the types of books your read, the company you keep, the kind of amusements you enjoy, and the government of your body. He will want to have something to say about your finances, what you do with them, how you make them, and how you use them. He will want to have something to say in regard to marriage, children, and the home. He will want to have His say as to your vocation in life and where you live.

Yes, Jesus wants to enter into every department of your life. This is what make the Christian life blessed. It robs life of its weakness and human guidance and it lifts it into the realm of the supernatural.
