Why is understanding Christ's lordship important for Christians?

Recognizing Jesus Christ as Lord is foundational to the Christian faith. As presented in this sermon, belief in Christ's lordship encompasses the understanding that God's will is actively undertaken in every aspect of our lives, including creation, providence, and salvation. Romans 10:9 emphasizes the necessity of confessing Jesus as Lord for salvation, which reflects the trust that His sovereign will orchestrates redemption. This comprehension provides peace and assurance for believers that their salvation is not dependent on their efforts but entirely on Christ’s sovereign grace.
