Confessing Jesus as Lord means acknowledging His divine authority and placing one's faith in Him for salvation.
Confessing Jesus as Lord is an integral aspect of Christian faith that implies recognizing His authority, divinity, and redemptive work. Romans 10:9 states that if we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved. This confession serves as a declaration of faith that acknowledges Christ’s role as Savior and Lord. It means more than just verbal affirmation; it requires a personal commitment to follow Him and submit to His will. By doing so, believers align themselves with the truth of the Gospel, understanding that Jesus is the one mediator between God and man and the only means of access to God's grace.
