Salvation & Lordship

Salvation is being saved from sin unto God. It is two fold: God's provision through the Savior's death, burial, and resurrection, coupled with man's response of repentance and faith. Along with being our Savior, Jesus is also the Lord of our lives. May we come to learn that Jesus is both and if he is not your Lord, then he cannot be your Savior.

"Unless Jesus is Lord of all, he is not Lord at all." -S.M. Zwemer

"That is what lordship is - Christ reigning as supreme authority over our life. Making Jesus lord of our life in not something passive. It's not a state of being; it's a state of doing. Those whom Jesus recognizes as his own are those who do that will of his Father in heaven." -Keith Green
