Lordship and Obedience!

I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and keep his commands, decrees and laws.DEUTERONOMY 30:16

"Why do you call me Lord,Lord and do not do what I say? As for those who come to me and hear my words and put them into practice, I will show you what they are alike. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on the rock, when a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it because it was well built."LUKE 6:46-48

To say Jesus is our Lord shows our total dependence and trust on Him, on His words.

For Christ's Lordship also means that His words are truly God's words- and must be trusted and obeyed.

To say we must trust and obey Christ doesn't mean salvation depends on our being perfect.

Rather, following Jesus as Lord is the attitude of complete surrender and obedience to Jesus Christ.
