We recognize Jesus as Lord through His divine attributes and His work of salvation for His people (Philippians 2:10-11).
The declaration that Jesus is Lord acknowledges His sovereign authority over all creation. Philippians 2:10-11 reveals that at the name of Jesus, every knee will bow, highlighting His ultimate authority. Furthermore, His resurrection and the fulfillment of His mission to save His people from their sins serve as profound evidence of His Lordship. The acknowledgment of His lordship is essential for true faith and reflects His divine nature and redemptive purpose.
