Is all of Creation Answerable to the Lordship of Jesus Christ?

“I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.” (Isaiah 43:11)

In His Scripture, God emphatically reiterates the statement, “I am the LORD,” over one hundred sixty times.  He reveals that He exists in three persons as the one and only God.

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” (1 John 5:7)

Thus Christ, the Word, is the Lord God!  He alone can deliver a sinner from eternal death.  The apostle Paul told the Thessalonians that it is the Lord Jesus Christ through whom salvation comes.

“For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.” (1 Thessalonians 5:9‑10)

While Christ was speaking with His disciples, Thomas asked the Lord a question.  Christ responded,

“… I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.” (John 14:6‑7)

Then Phillip asked the Lord,

“… Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.  Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?” (John 14:8‑9)

When the Philippian Jailor asked Paul and Silas what he must do to be saved they replied,

“…Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” (Acts 16:31)

When God’s Holy Spirit breathes life into previously dead sinners they follow Him as their Lord.

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me:  And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.  My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.  I and my Father are one.” (John 10:27‑30)

Jesus Christ “is Lord of all!” (Acts 10:36)  Have you heard His salvation call, “follow Me”?
