JESUS IS LORD
MEMORY VERSE: Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God (Philippians 2:5,6).
A chapter in my book, Great Salvation Themes, asks these thought-provoking questions: "Did Christ exist before His descension to earth? Was He conceived through the instrumentality of the Holy Spirit? Was He truly God from all eternity?
These questions might be summarized in this one. Is Jesus God?
If you accept the Bible as your authority, you will conclude that Jesus is Lord. Here's proof: John the Baptist came to prepare the way for Jesus. Isaiah said of John: The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God (Isaiah 40:3). Christ was the Creator: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made (John 1:1-3). The Lord of glory was crucified: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory (1 Corinthians 2:8). When Christ returns to reign, all will admit that He is Lord: And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:11).
If you are born again, it is because you have received the LORD Jesus Christ. Be sure that He is the LORD of your life. JVI
