Are You Still In Control?

Posted on December 25, 2010 by

Romans 10:9:

“If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

If we do not fully surrender and confess that Jesus is LORD of our lives, what has changed? Are we unwilling to relinquish control in certain aspects of our lives? I believe this is the essence of the problem with many Christians … oftentimes we are still in control.

Luke 6:46-48:

“But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say? Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.”

Can Jesus save us if He cannot rule us? We’ll keep destroying ourselves in rebellion … we’ll keep taking the wrong paths and gates … we’ll keep repeating the same mistakes until we allow Jesus to be our LORD.

Since you're here …

… we have a small favor to ask. We are committed to spreading the Gospel of Grace and encouraging Bible Study, Rightly-Divided but it takes work, time, and money to do what we do. Would you consider helping us to be an ever-reaching light in this dark world? You can do so for as little as $1.

Thank you for your support and your prayers. They are greatly appreciated!
