How do we know Jesus is our King?

The acknowledgment of Jesus as King is not merely a verbal declaration but requires a deep commitment to allow Him to rule in every aspect of our lives. Spurgeon points out that until Jesus is accepted as the supreme authority of our hearts, we remain under the dominion of sin and self, which are tyrannical masters. Reflecting on the nature of Christ’s kingship, believers are encouraged to examine His character and the love He has demonstrated towards sinners. This relationship transforms our will and inclinations, leading us to recognize the unparalleled goodness of serving the King of kings. Without this submission, we are at risk of eternal damnation, highlighting the necessity of making a conscious decision to follow Jesus as our sovereign.
