The third error is a natural result of the first two errors. Jesus Christ was Lord - Jehovah, before He came into this world. As Lord He is the one with all power and authority in Heaven and in Earth. It is His will that determines men's salvation. It is His will that deterimines whether you ever hear the gospel (John 6:37, John 10:27, Pslams 110:3). The Holy Scriptures know nothing of a salvation that allows a soul to be saved without submitting to the will, the word, and the ways of the Lord Jesus Christ! You see, beloved, it is not the cross itself that entrhalls believers's and fills their hearts with wonder and thankfulness. No, it is WHO was on the cross, and WHY He was on that cross. It is because of who He is that salvation was accomplished. It wasn't the amount of time, the amount of blood, nor even the amout of suffering He endured that secured salvation and satisfaction to the holiness and justice of God. No, it was WHO HE WAS that gave worth to these things. Any man who has his heart opened to see Him will never debate in his heart again whether they will accept or reject Jesus. Gone will be the proud thoughts of his heart as to his ability to accept or reject the Lord Jesus Christ! The apostles always presented their hearers first wth the Person of Christ before the work of Christ, because they knew that His work of living, dying, and rising again, was absoluetely worthless unless... He was the Lord of Glory, the great "I Am" (Acts 2:32-37). Men humiliated him when He was here on earth in His flesh, but God has exalted Him to His right hand and given Him a Name above every name. Now it is bow the knee, confess with your tongue that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father (Phillipians 2:9-11).
