Is God your Lord?

This is a very important question to ask yourself. God makes it very clear in His Word that when we follow Jesus, we are no longer our own but His!

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

The Word tells us we are slaves now…Romans 6:22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life.

It continues to say Jesus is Lord….Revelation 17:14 They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.”

Thomas Kempis gives us a good reminder: “It is a very great thing to obey, to live under a superior and not to be one’s own master.” For the follower of Jesus that superior is JESUS!

So think about who is Lord of your life today?? Is it you? Is it someone you are in a relationship with? Or is it the One and only Jesus who died for you upon the cross, to take your sins upon Himself, so that you may live for eternity in heaven with Him. 

I pray we all can say like Joshua: Joshua 24:15 And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
