This document discusses what it means to make Jesus Lord of one's life. Key points include: - It means acknowledging that God owns you and that Jesus has authority over you as your King to be obeyed. Receiving Jesus as Lord is about obedience and loyalty. - Calling Jesus "Lord" was the early church's confession and is the authoritative confession of Christianity according to scripture. It is an integral part of salvation. - One cannot claim to be a Christian while rejecting Jesus as Lord. Christianity involves comprehensive acceptance, not choosing certain doctrines. Making disciples requires explaining Lordship. - Jesus is already Lord by his nature; acknowledging his Lordship is a choice and privilege but relies on the Holy Spirit
