- MacARTHUR, JOHN F. 1939
"Lordship Salvation Series"
SERMON 1 - "The Lordship Of Christ"
SERMON 2 - "The Nature Of Saving
Faith"
SERMON 3 - "The Call To Repentance"
SERMON 4 - "The Cost Of Discipleship"
"Nowhere in Scripture does it ever say a Christian is to make Christ Lord. If you're a Christian,
He is Lord. And it does say, very explicitly in Scripture, that unless you acknowledge that fact
that He is Lord, you could never be saved in the first place. That is obvious. Withholding the
Lordship of Christ from someone, withholding from them the fact that they need to surrender
their life to His leading, withholding from them that they need to confess and repent of their sin is
to damn the person to a delusion that they're are saved when they're not. Withholding the
Lordship of Christ from someone while giving them the gospel is a complete contradiction. The
Bible says that salvation is granted only to those who acknowledge Jesus as Lord and are willing
to submit their life to Him. To say that you should never talk about that, that all a person has to
do is believe that Jesus died for them doesn't say at all enough."
