How do we know Jesus is Lord and Sovereign?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is recognized as Lord and Sovereign through His divine authority in Scripture, fulfilling prophecies and performing miracles, as well as His own declarations.

The acknowledgment of Jesus as Lord stems from His sovereignty in creation, providence, and salvation. In Matthew 15:22-28, the Syrophoenician woman recognizes Jesus' authority, calling Him 'Lord' and asking for mercy, underscoring her belief in His sovereign power to heal. The New Testament consistently portrays Christ as sovereign, emphasizing that all things were created through Him and for Him (Colossians 1:16). This understanding is foundational in Reformed theology, which asserts that Christ's lordship encompasses all aspects of life and history, affirming His control over salvation and the necessity of grace in the lives of believers.
