We have all heard of the phrase, "Lord and Savior." It seems to make sense that we should have both a Lord and a Savior. But is it possible to be saved without surrendering your life to Jesus? I mean, if you believe in God's Son who died on the cross for our sins, then why wouldn't we follow His example by living our lives for Him? This is an important question so let's delve deeper into what it means to be saved by Christ and how your life will change when He becomes your Lord and Savior.
We want God to saved us but we don't want Jesus to be our Lord and Savior
We want God to save us but we don't want Jesus to be our Lord and Savior.
We want God to save us from sin, yet we don't want to give up our sins.
We want God's forgiveness, but we don't want Him to change the way that I live my life.
That is why many people call themselves "Christians" even though they do not have an intimate relationship with Christ in their daily lives. They have been saved by grace through faith alone in Christ alone, but they have not surrendered their lives completely over to Him as their Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9-10).
You can go to church, church activities and events, you can read and study the Bible, you can pray, you can even serve others in the name of Christ, but if He is not your Lord then none of this matters.
Jesus is Lord and Savior, but you must believe in Him to be saved.
Jesus is the only way to heaven (John 14:6). The only way is through Jesus Christ alone (Acts 4:12). You cannot work your way into heaven by good deeds or religious rituals; rather, you must come by faith in the redeeming blood of Jesus Christ (Romans 3:24; Ephesians 2:8-9).
Jesus said that if anyone would deny Him before men, he would deny them before God. In other words, if you refuse to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior today while on earth, then He will not admit you into His presence when it comes time for judgment because you rejected His gift of salvation!
It's all or nothing. You give it all over to Him, or you have nothing at all.
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). There is no other way to salvation than through Jesus Christ. It's not by your good deeds or your religious rituals; you must come to God by faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.
If you don't have Jesus as your Savior—the One who died for you, took on all of your sins and rose again—you are lost without hope! You cannot be saved from hell without Him because there is no other name given among men by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). And if you aren't saved then when you die there is only one place where you will spend eternity...in hell!
When Jesus is your Lord and Savior He changes everything about you.
When Jesus is your Lord and Savior He changes everything about you. From the inside out, He gives you new eyes, a new heart, a new mind, a new spirit and a new life.
You have been saved from sin by being born again through faith in His name to forgive all your sins for ever. This means that when we ask for forgiveness for our sins God forgives us because Jesus paid the penalty for them on the cross through His death.
When we choose to accept Him as our Lord and Savior then we are choosing to follow Him as our leader in every area of our lives which includes what we say or do according to His will not ours - this is called obedience,
