God demands exclusive devotion and love, commanding individuals to have no other gods before Him, and to surrender their lives completely to His will, as demonstrated by Jesus Christ, who lived a life of absolute surrender to the Father's will, and followers of Christ are called to do the same, restoring the throne of their life to its rightful owner, Jesus Christ. [... more]

The Bible teaches that our identity is rooted in our relationship with Christ, and that we are no longer slaves to sin or our circumstances. As followers of Jesus, we are called to live a life that reflects our new identity in Christ, and to submit to Him as our Master.

The Bible tells about a future Antichrist, a great world leader who seeks and gets the worship of mankind. He will be a rival to the real Jesus, claiming to be God and performing signs and wonders. The Antichrist will arise out of a revived Roman Empire, make a covenant with Israel, and break it in the middle of the tribulation period. He will have a miraculous recovery of a fatal wound and use fear to rule the world, declaring himself to be God and controlling the world religiously, politically, and economically. [... more]

The concept of being a slave to Christ is a crucial aspect of Christianity, yet it is often overlooked and misunderstood. In the New Testament, the word 'slave' is used to describe a believer's relationship to Christ, emphasizing total dependence and submission to God's will. This idea challenges the contemporary Christian emphasis on personal freedom and prosperity, and instead offers a profound and liberating truth about our identity in Christ. [... more]

John MacArthur explores ten biblical principles for making decisions that align with God's will, including considering the lordship of Christ, conscience, and the impact on others, as well as emulating Christ and glorifying God. [... more]

The Bible warns against false teachers who pervert the grace of God into sensuality and deny the lordship of Christ. Christians must contend for the faith, uphold biblical doctrine, and preserve the truth to avoid spiritual decay and judgment. The same Jesus who saves also destroys, and those who deny Christ's lordship will suffer eternal punishment. Christians must know the Word of God, stand on it, and not compromise it to avoid being deceived and to preserve their faithfulness. [... more]

The path to salvation is narrow and requires a genuine faith that produces a transformed life. A true faith is not just intellectual acquiescence, but a heart that knows and feels its responsibility to respond to the lordship of Christ. Many people are deceived by a corrupt gospel that does not affirm repentance and confession, and instead offers a message of easy believism that does not lead to true salvation. [... more]

The name 'Lord' reveals God's character and holds significant meaning in the Bible, emphasizing Jesus Christ's divine authority and the Christian faith's core principles of spiritual allegiance and devotion. [... more]

The Bible teaches that God is the one and only self-existent, independent being in the universe, who has existence in and of himself. As followers of Christ, we must grasp our utter dependency on God for every moment of our existence and relate properly to the living God of the universe. The essence of sin is when any created being decides to take over and sit on the throne of their own life, rejecting God's preeminence over their life. To be a disciple, one must dethrone themselves and restore the throne of their life to its rightful owner, submitting to God's authority and living according to His Word. [... more]

The Lordship of Christ is the foundation of true spiritual power and the secret to living victoriously. Jesus Christ is Lord, and His authority is the source of all true power, but it requires surrender and submission to His Lordship. The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is Lord, and this confession is the key to knowing and exercising kingdom and authority. It conquers Satan, comforts saints, and convicts sinners, and it's the first step to receiving forgiveness and salvation. [... more]

The concept of Jesus Christ being Lord is central to understanding kingdom authority. To be a Christian means surrendering to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, who has absolute power and authority. This surrender is not just about making a commitment, but about yielding to the Lordship of Jesus, who has purchased us with his blood and now lives in us to possess us as Lord. [... more]

In a world filled with darkness, Christians are called to be bright lights, shining with the hope of Jesus Christ. To achieve this, one must repent, be transformed, and present themselves as holy and humble, allowing God to shine through them. This requires a radical change in life, where Jesus Christ is the Lord and Savior, and one must be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks about the reason for their hope. Genuine humility and a superior lifestyle are also essential in being a bright light in a dark world. [... more]

The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is the king over every life, and surrendering to his lordship is the most practical and everyday concept for living a life that honors God. This surrender involves presenting one's body to God, relinquishing control, and making a deliberate decision to crown Jesus as king over every area of life. [... more]

The Bible's claim that Jesus is the king of the universe is a central theme in the Christian faith. The apostle Paul's message in Thessalonica, where he preached that Jesus is the king over every life, is a powerful example of this. The concept of the lordship of Christ means that Jesus is the ruler over every area of our lives, including our thoughts, actions, and decisions. It requires a total surrender to God's will and a commitment to living according to His principles. [... more]
