Kuya Bobot ug Mga Kaigsuonan,
Sorry, I cannot explain this("The starting point of salvation is the acknowledgment of Lordship of Christ." ). If you notice, I was quoting Steve Murrel just to add to the article(by John Mc Arthur) for discussion as started by R.G. Kuya Bobot, pala-absent ra ba ko sa B.S. namo sa CIT sa una mao nga tig-paminaw ra jud ko (you can ask Kuya Eseng n R.G) hehehe.
By the way, here's the continuation from Steve Murrel's idea on Lordship.
Lordship Demands Obedience
Anyone who claims Christ as their Lord is expected to do what he says. Intellectual faith and empty confession is not enough. If we say Christ is our Lord, our lifestyle should back our claim.
"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?" Luke 6:46
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." Matthew 7:21
Lordship Begins in the Heart
Submitting to Christ as Lord is not about following a set of religious rules and traditions. Rather, Lordship is a matter of the heart. Lordship begins as an internal submission of the heart. If it is genuine, it will eventually manifest itself in outward obedience.
But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. 1Peter 3:15
Lordship is a Continuous Walk
We begin our Christian life by acknowledging that Jesus is Lord. We must continue to walk under his Lordship for the rest of our lives. Lordship is not having a onetime experience with God, but developing a lifetime walk with God. The more we know him, the more we submit to him.
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord continue to live in him. Colossians 2:6
