“Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish from the [W]ay, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put trust in Him.”  (Psalm 2)

 

“Lordship salvation”  is a label that has been put upon Biblical salvation by men. It should not be an issue. The answer should be simple.  Who Saves the sinner from sin, sins, self (s)atan?  Who performs this miracle? Who takes a sinner, who is guilty of breaking God’s moral law and saves him?  Who exchanges His Pure and Perfect Righteousness a with person’s sinfully sinfulness” Who is it that takes every sin from every person and shoulders those very specific and peculiar sins upon Himself? What is His Name? What is He called by? Who does one (1) call upon to be saved,?  “For whosoever shall call upon the [N]ame of the Lord shall be saved.”  (Romans 10) What’s the Lord’s Name?  Jesus, of course. BUT what does one (1) call Him when calling upon Him, according to this verse? Yep!!! “THe Lord Jesus Christ.”

“You call Me Master and Lord: and you say well, for so I am.”  (John 13) So where is the problem? The Saviour of a person is Called Lord Jesus. Man makes it complicated, does he not?  It is simple, The Lord Jesus is the Saviour of sinners, who believe. The title of Lord, and it’s implications should not and cannot be be separated from His Person.

Let’s look at it this way:  “Yo, Jesus, i will accept you as my Saviour from hell and all, but the Lord thing, that isn’t really my thing, ya know?” Does that work for you? Reader? Is that acceptable to you? Are you comfortable with someone thinking that way, about Christ and His salvation?  I would hope not. When one (1) comes to Christ for salvation one (1) is coming to repent, turn around, change things up. Who does one (1) come to, but the Lord Jesus. Lordship is built into repentance and salvation. The Lord Jesus is not out to “SAVE” those who will not love and trust Him. No, Not at all.

Salvation is a covenant, Salvation is a committment, Salvation is a marriage, with no prenuptials, or divorcing possible. Salvation is returning to our beginning. Salvation is returning to Eden and not listening to the serpent. Salvation is returning to walks with God, the Creator, or Potter, if you will, in the Cool of the evening. The God Who Created us and Loves us and gave us so many allowances and freedoms is Creator, God, LORD and Lord. So there should be no problem with Lordship salvation. It is Christ Jesus, Who is Lord over all that saves a sinner. If the sinner refutes Christ’s claim to lordhship or ownership, the sinner is not getting saved, today period. It all comes down to this: Who owns you?

OWNS  ME!!!????  Who owns me? Nobody OWNS ME!!! No one!!!. If that is your view of things you are sadly mistaken. Everyone has a master and Lord. It could be anything. Job, career, the family, secret sins, SIN the root, or sins. Materialism could be your master and Lord.  Maybe games master you, drugs, alcohol. (this i know about), The flesh, the world, the devil and his own.  Reader, you are owned by something or someone. Salvation is, like i said, a covenant, or a contract: There are term and those terms are love for Christ, love for brethren and enemies, and obedience to Christ.

Who? What ? do you focus upon in life? is it?
*The world
*The Flesh
*The devil
*The self centeered Self
*sin
*Ideologies,
*Goals
*Earthly Hopes

OR  Do you focus on the Lord? Scripture tells us that the person that focuses his perspective  and attention upon the LORD will have peace. Is there any peace in the things above? Peter tells us that peace and grace can be multiplied through an intimate knowing of Christ. An intimate, a friendly, a prayerful, a love for Christ is the the Way, the Truth and the Life to go.

The Christ-ian that focuses on sin all of the time is the Christ-ian that has fallen into the religious and legalistic way of thinking? believing? feeling? That is bondage, the person that lives this way may be saved, s/he may have a saved soul, but they also have a lost life. A lost life to: works, service, fear, the church.

The proper perspective and focus should be upon the Lord Jesus and all that He has done, is doing, and will do, and will be doing….Six days and all this?  What will He have procured, built, made ready, prepared, made meet with two-thousand (2000) years?  Eye hast not seen or even thought what awaits the Christ-ian in God’s Glory?

Look for and live in Christ’s kingdom upon this earth and everything else will be added.
