When most people accept Jesus as their Savior, that is all they want as time goes on. He is put on the back burner, as they say. Many don’t mind Jesus as a King. A King that sits on His throne somewhere far off.
But, when you ask Jesus to come into your heart, you don’t get just a Savior. You get a King and Lord. Lord means a Ruler of your life. That means you turn your life over to Jesus. You are to obey.
Roman 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. (NAS)
Please read this verse again and take notice of the phrase, “Jesus as Lord.”
Romans 10:13 for ”WHOEVER WILL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.” (NAS)
Keeping Jesus as Lord is hard. God sent the Holy Spirit to help us. He is with you moment by moment.
So bow before Him as your Lord.
