What is the Lordship of Christ? • Lord: he owns me; I obey and serve him • Romans 7:4: “So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.” • 1 Corinthians 6:20: “…you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” • 2 Corinthians 5:15: “And he died for all, that those who live should longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.”
How to practice Christ as Lord? • Colossians 2:6-7: “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” • 1 Peter 3:15: “But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect…”
