Lordship

John 13:3 English Standard Version (ESV) Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God,

Hebrews 1:3 English Standard Version (ESV) He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

The right hand is both a seat of honor and power. Father God has turned everything and everybody over to Jesus Christ because Jesus was obedient unto death on the cross. Jesus is our free will offering for the forgiveness of all sin, for all mankind, forever.

We must accept that Jesus Christ is Lord so that we can put our faith in Him. He is God on the throne of heaven and the Lord of all life, to both the saved and the lost. It is only in accepting that as truth that we can submit ourselves to His lordship in order to be saved.

If man does not believe, he will not submit and his fate is sealed by his choice of unbelief.

John 3:18 English Standard Version (ESV) Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

John 14:6 English Standard Version (ESV) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

This one verse alienates more unbelieving people than any other. They were already alienated, they just don’t respect that truth.

Speak the truth in love and let love lead the way.
