Lord and Savior !!

Luk 6:46"Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?

I have heard it so many times. I have received Jesus as Lord in my life. Really?? Jesus as Lord means he is the one deciding. He is the one in charge. Don’t call Jesus your Lord if you are not willing to do what he says.

A friend of mine posted this on facebook: “It appears the earliest confession of the New Testament church was Jesus Christ is Lord, not Jesus is Savior? Jesus Christ is called specifically Savior 16 times in the New Testament and Lord more than 450 times!”

It seems what people today wants is Jesus as savior and not as Lord. But you cannot separate the two:

Rom 10:9that 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; 10for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.

If you want salvation, you must confess, and make him your Lord !!!
