Why is it important for Christians to recognize that they cannot make Jesus king?

Answered in 1 source

Recognizing that we cannot make Jesus king affirms His eternal sovereignty and our need to submit to His authority.

The idea that we can 'make' Jesus king diminishes His inherent authority and sovereignty as the eternal King. Scriptures like Philippians 2:9-11 declare that Jesus is already exalted and that every knee will bow to Him. The misunderstanding that we can appoint Him as Lord suggests a lack of comprehension of His true nature as God incarnate. This acknowledgment is vital for genuine faith—understanding that we are not in control, and that it’s His grace calling us to repentance and faith, enabling us to recognize His rightful place in our lives as King and Lord. This is foundational for living a Christian life aligned with God's will.
