“God is my Co-Pilot” says a bumper sticker.
Uh-Oh!
God is God! Jesus Christ IS Lord.
Today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:11)
Christians
If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)
When a person repents and believes in Jesus Christ, he or she receives Him as Lord and Savior. He is eternally Lord and Savior. He is Lord of all.
While, as we grow in the Lord, we increasingly submit to His Lordship, He is, now and eternally, Lord.
When ww ask Him for guidance, do we think of Him as giving advice or issuing commands? Are we going to do what He says? Or do we think of Him as giving us good counsel? Do we think of Him as under retainer, available to us when we think we need Him?
He is our (believers) Lord!
Those who reject Christ
For those who reject Christ, one day they will confess Him as Lord. But too late. They are headed to hell.
At the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and … every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:10-11)
So NOW
Repent! Believe! Receive Him as Lord and Savior.
Determine to live your life under His Lordship. This, of course, is part of sanctification, and none of us are perfect. But decide to seek Him and do what He says. Just as He says.
