Jesus as Lord and Savior
SEPTEMBER 12
"that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9
Have you ever thought that salvation was like a cafeteria where you can pick and choose the aspects of Jesus you want?
"I'll have a little Saviorhood, please, but no Lordship."
Not so, friend. If Jesus is not your Lord, Jesus is not your Savior. What's the difference? Well, suppose I perform a wedding ceremony and say to the young man, "Would you take Mary to be your lawfully wedded wife?" and he responds, "Well, I'll take Mary as housekeeper." Then I say to her, "Would you take John to be your lawfully wedded husband?" and she says, "Well, I'll take him as provider." Friend, we can't pick and choose what we want from Jesus. We simply take Jesus as Lord over all!
Is Jesus Christ Lord of every area of your life? Take time today to examine your life — your finances, your relationships, your hopes and dreams.
