Is Jesus Your Lord?

Confessing Jesus as your Lord brings glory to God our Father. He sent His Son into this world to suffer and die on the cross for you. God proved His love for you through the death of His Son. He showed His mercy and grace for you through the Lord Jesus Christ.

When you confess from your heart and with your mouth "Jesus Christ is Lord," you bring glory to God's love, mercy, and grace. God's love fills your heart, as God's mercy takes away your sins, while God's grace gives you new life.

As a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, you are delivered from sin, judgment, and condemnation. There is no condemnation against you, because you know Jesus as Lord of your life. The confession of your personal faith says, "Jesus is Lord." You know He died for your sins. You know He is risen from the dead.

"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus
and believe in your heart 
that God has raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved."

Romans 10:9
