God has highly exalted him and given him the name above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Philippians 2:9–11). He is the kind of Treasure who gladly saves us and whom we gladly call our Lord. Jesus is our “Lord, Savior, and Treasure .”
He is “the Lord Jesus Christ himself . . . who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace” ( 2 Thessalonians 2:16 ). He is not just “Lord,” but also “Treasure.” He is the kind of lord in whom we delight. What Kind of Savior? And what kind of Savior is Jesus? The kind who not only deserves our gratitude, but wins our love.
Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. If not, do so now! Receive Him into your heart and let Him come into your life. Suggested prayer: “Heavenly Father, I thank you for sending your only begotten Son to die for my sins. I thank you for redeeming me by His precious blood and forgiving me of my sins.
Trust Jesus Christ today! Here's what you must do. Admit that you are a sinner and that you need God's help. Be willing to change your mind and turn from your sin (repent). Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, was buried, and rose from the dead. Through prayer, invite Jesus into your heart to become your personal Lord and Savior.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age .”. God the Father has established His Son Jesus as “both Lord and Christ.”. After His resurrection, Christ Himself told His followers that all authority in heaven and on earth had been given to Him.
It is “the Lord Jesus” in Whom we believe and are saved, said Paul and Silas to the Philippian jailer. And Paul wrote to the Romans that being saved includes “declar [ing] with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’ .”. It is a tragic error just to regard Jesus as a “fire escape” from the flames of hell.
That is, Jesus loves us deeply. And if we love Him, we will keep His commandments (John 14:15). We will obey everything He commands us (Matthew 28:20) in response to the deep, personal love relationship between us and the Lord.
Jesus Wants to Be Your LORD and Savior, Not Just Your Savior. Jesus Wants to Be Your. LORD. and Savior, Not Just Your Savior. Summary: Sometimes one will hear Christians say, “I received Jesus as my Savior, then [sometime] later I received Him as my Lord.”. I understand how some people’s experience gives rise to that thought.
Four times in his second epistle the apostle Peter used the phrase “our Lord AND Savior.”. Peter had walked with Jesus for 3-1/2 years and knew Him very, very well. With appropriate, eternal respect and gratitude to Jesus for saving us, Peter also emphasized Christ’s Lordship.
When Jesus tells us to “come to” Him, as in Matthew 11:28, to Whom is He telling us to come? — to the “Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”. In fact, more than 80 times in the New Testament Jesus is identified as the Lord Jesus Christ (or Jesus Christ our Lord, or Christ Jesus our Lord ).
When we come into a saving relationship with the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, yes, we do enter a relationship of unquestioning obedience to Him. But that obedience is made very special and actually heart-warming when we see it in this context. That is, Jesus loves us deeply.
He is the kind of Treasure who gladly saves us and whom we gladly call our Lord. Jesus is our “Lord, Savior, and Treasure .”.
He is not a selfish lord, but a self-sacrificing lord. He’s not a mean lord, but a kind one. He is not the insecure, cowardly Prince John who opposed Robin Hood, but the winsome, magnanimous King Richard, a king for whose return his subjects longed. He is not a lord like Scar, but like Mufasa.
This is the kind of Lord-Treasure he is. “Our salvation doesn’t show God’s commitment to his work as much as his commitment to his child.”. And Jesus not only stands above us and receives our worship, but he is the one who stooped so low for us and got beneath us to serve us.
He is not a lord we disdain, but one we admire. He is a giving lord, not an exacting lord ( Matthew 18:27 ). He is “the Lord Jesus Christ himself . . . who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace” ( 2 Thessalonians 2:16 ). He is not just “Lord,” but also “Treasure.”.
Answer. The key is understanding that Jesus is already Lord of your life. We do not make Jesus Lord. Jesus is Lord. What we are supposed to do is submit to His lordship. Another word for our response to Jesus’ lordship is “submission.”. To submit is to yield to the will and control of another, and, with reference to Christians, ...
To sum up the idea of the Lordship of Christ, it does not consist of one act of obedience but rather is measured by the sum of our obedience, and it cannot be accomplished in our own strength or power, but by the power available to us by the indwelling Holy Spirit.
It should be understood that submission, or obedience to the commands of God, is related to Christian growth and maturity, and is not related to becoming a Christian. A person becomes a Christian by faith alone in Christ apart from works ( Ephesians 2:8-9 ).
Jesus said at John 3:16: “For God so loved the world , that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”. Jesus said at John 3:17-18 : “17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
At John 17:3 Jesus said: ” This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”.
The Apostle Peter stated at Acts 4:12: “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”. Jesus said at John 14:6: ” I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through (by) me.”. The Apostle Paul at 1 Timothy 2:5-6 said: “5 For ...
The Apostle Paul at 1 Timothy 2:5-6 said: “5 For there is one God, and one Mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.”.
Receive Christ by repentance, confessing your sins to God and pray and ask to receive the Holy Spirit. ...
You can start to gain ground as a Brother of Jesus, and your ways can be in the light beyond the tunnel . Confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and agreeing with Jesus means: be born again of water and the Spirit to enter into the kingdom of God. (John 3:5) Get yourself a Bible and start reading it.
Christ asks that we simply abide in Him. So live your life in accordance with His word and live your life as it is not your own- you belong to Jesus Christ. It is Christ's life now, so live in sweet surrender knowing that you are now free and have been made alive since we were dead in our trespasses.
Jesus said, "Unless you be born again, you shall not enter the Kingdom of God (St. John 3:3). A life of meaning and purpose is found, "at your door"! Jesus said, "See, I stand at the door and knock, and if any hear my voice, open the door and invite me in; I will come in and we will feast together...". (Revelation 3:20)
According to Christianity consistent with the Bible you must repent and turn away from your sins once and for all. Ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins and surrender your life to Him. Confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved.
