To say that Jesus is Lord is to say that he is not only the Son of God but also that he is God himself in the flesh. Realizing this shows the greatness and grandeur of God’s love—that he would become a man and die for us. This revelation changes our hearts and minds forever. Christ’s lordship also means that his words are truly God’s words—and must be trusted and obeyed. To say that we must trust and obey Christ doesn’t mean that salvation depends on us being perfect. Rather, following Jesus as Lord is the attitude of complete surrender and obedience to Jesus Christ.
