Page 70 - Lordship Salvation
P. 70
Now back to Romans 10 and we'll close.
So salvation begins with confessing that
Jesus Christ is Lord. It all begins there. And
once we do that, it continues there
throughout our entire life. He is precious to
us. Yes, He's our Savior, but He's also our
Lord; He owns us; He has redeemed us; we
have been bought with a price; we no
longer belong to ourselves. And I want to
say to you again that the Lordship of Christ
is not a secondary act after salvation. Oh,
yes, every day we can call Him Lord and we
can confirm in our own hearts that He's our
Lord and we can submit unto Him on a daily
basis — which we should — but the Lordship
of Christ is not a secondary act after
salvation. It is an integral part of the gospel
