*SERIOUS SALVATION* (V)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Some godless people have sneaked in among us and are saying, "God treats us much better than we deserve, and so it is all right to be immoral." THEY EVEN DENY THAT WE MUST OBEY JESUS CHRIST AS OUR ONLY MASTER AND LORD. But long ago the Scriptures warned that these godless people were doomed."* Jude 1:4 (CEV)
_Bible Insight:_
The issue of the Lordship of Jesus is sometimes not appreciated and emphasized enough as much as we call or use the term "Lord Jesus"! Many are unconsciously denying the Lordship of Jesus. The act is subtly but surely happening in many corners among practicing believers.
This act did not start today. Right from when Jesus was in ministry personally, many were guilty of this.
Jesus himself rebuked some fellows thus, *"And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"* in Luke 6:46.
This challenge has grown much worse over the years and in these last days, it has become remarkably huge but conversely seldomly addressed.
When we chant and shout and chorus and sing "Lord Jesus" but do little or nothing to follow it up with the necessary lifestyle, obedience and attitude towards God and His word then we are *"Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof."* And we are warned to avoid and *"from such turn away."* (2 Timothy 3:5)
Any believer who does not apply the Word of God is guilty of rejecting the Lordship of Jesus. You can fully accept Jesus as your saviour while fully denying Him as your Lord. But this error is one we are warned to avoid as it comes with dire consequences.
2 Peter 2:1 warns those who are *"even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction."*
We cannot take the benefits of salvation while rejecting the obligations of salvation. Selah!
_MEDITATION:_
*Anyone who comes and listens to me and obeys me is like someone who dug down deep and built a house on solid rock. When the flood came and the river rushed against the house, it was built so well that it didn't even shake. But anyone who hears what I say and doesn't obey me is like someone whose house wasn't built on solid rock. As soon as the river rushed against that house, it was smashed to pieces!* (Luke 6:47-49 (CEV))
