“We need to be careful not to miss the point of Christ’s lordship. As we’ve already seen, you and I don’t decide to make Jesus Lord; He is Lord regardless of what we think of Him. Jesus died on the cross and rose from the grave, and now He is exalted at the Father’s right hand as the Lord over all creation. All those things are true regardless of what you and I think or decide.” ~David Platt
“Be encouraged, follower of Christ, for this mission is not based on who we are or what we can do. This mission is assured based on Christ’s presence through His Spirit…this mission is based on who Jesus is and what He is able to do in and through our lives. Christ is able to do ‘beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us.’” ~ David Platt

Scripture Passages:
Romans 10:9 “if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Romans 10:13-15
“For ‘everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”
2 Timothy 3:16-17
“All Scripture is breathed out by God, and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction and for training in righteousness that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”
James 4:17
“So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.”
Matthew 16:18.
“I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
