What do you know about Christ and salvation, many of us know that there is a God but do not know who God is? Even if you ask the drunk person, he knows that there is a God but he does not know who God is and what the character of the Lord is. We do not know God because we have no relationship with Him and we have no commitment to God.

To our friends or family members, we all know what they like and don't like right? You know what her favorite food is, her favorite color, and what will make her happy. Do you know why you know those things? Because you have a relationship with each other you have a connection to each other and especially you have a commitment so you know those things.

So, it is with our Lord. let's have a relationship with him so we can get to know him better. Salvation begins with the Lordship of Christ in your life. Declaring that Jesus is your Lord means submitting to Him in all aspects of our lives. God will be the one to follow in your life in all the decisions you make and no longer yourself.

Those who say that they have accepted Christ as their Lord are expected to obey his commandments. Many of us call on the Lord but not all will be subject to the kingdom of God. Only those who obey the will of God the Father in heaven will be included in his kingdom.

Submission to Christ as Lord is not about following religious rules and traditions. rather, it is about the content of our hearts. Jesus' mastery begins with our hearts submitting to him. if this is true, it will result in obedience to him. remember that Christ is the only one we should follow and honor and nothing else. 

Our life as Christians begins by recognizing Jesus as God and savior. We must continue to live under his power and divinity as long as we live. It is not just a one-time recognition of God but a lifelong growth in recognizing and obeying him. The more we get to know him, the more we submit to Him.
