Why is acknowledging Jesus as Lord essential for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Acknowledging Jesus as Lord is essential because true salvation involves submitting to His rule and authority in one’s life.

In receiving Jesus, Zacchaeus acknowledges Him not just as a Savior but also as Lord, as indicated when he declares, 'Behold, Lord' (Luke 19:8). This recognition of Jesus' lordship implies a new headship in Zacchaeus’s life, signifying that being saved is about receiving Christ in His entirety—both His saving work and His authoritative rule. Salvation transforms the believer's relationship with Christ, placing them under His lordship, which leads to a life of obedience and love.
