Summary:
Salvation is the beginning step in our relationship with the Lord. As we reach into that relationship we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit and begin a process of giving up our life as we begin to submit to His Lordship in our life. This leads us into the greatest joy anyone can know – to know Him.
Show Notes:
Salvation is the beginning step in the Lordship of Jesus Christ in your life.
You must give your life over totally to Him.
We must lay down our thoughts, ways and understanding and take on His thoughts, ways etc.
We receive the gift of the Holy Spirit that leads us into His Lordship in our lives.
As we grow in our relationship with the Lord our experiences deepen with Him and we begin to know Him.
Quotes:
It seems that the lordship of Jesus Christ begins with salvation. That step of salvation is the beginning of a walk with God.
When we first accept the Lord, we believe that He was raised again and that He's living. So we come into a walk with God. Do you have a relationship with Him yet? No, because that has to be developed.
You really don't know the Lord until you come into the place where you accept Him and relate to Him as the Lord of your life.
We're set apart to Christ becoming our head, Christ becoming our Lord.
Being under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, one of the first things that happens is the dethroning of your carnal mind, the dethroning of your thinking, your ways, and everything that you would choose you're laying down .
When you've accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, He gives you a the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Show me, lead me, direct me, and let me come into your presence. Let me know you. Not just about you, but to really know You.
References:
But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.
Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they would have life, and have it abundantly.
So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Takeaway:
The Lordship of Jesus Christ in a believer's life begins with his salvation experience. With the gift of the Holy spirit the believer begins a lifelong process of experiences with the Lord as he begins to really know Him in truth.
