You know, you will hear people today say, &ldquo;If Jesus is not Lord of all, He&rsquo;s not Lord at all.&rdquo; Now, that statement is true, but they&rsquo;re making a mistake. They&rsquo;re saying &ldquo;If He&rsquo;s not Lord of all your life, He&rsquo;s not Lord of any of it.&rdquo; That statement is false.</p>

<p>First of all, Jesus is Lord, whether we make Him Lord or not. Jesus is Lord and we do not make Him Lord. He is Lord, period. Jesus is the Creator of the heavens and the earth; He is the Lord of all glory. He&rsquo;s the One that&rsquo;s holding all the molecules and all the things in all this earth together. It says that He is the Lord. He is the Creator. He&rsquo;s the Potentate of all potentates. He is the King of Kings. That&#39;s Jesus.&nbsp; We don&rsquo;t make Him any of these things.&nbsp; So this clever statement is beside the point.</p>

<p>As you can see, the intended effect is to force the Christian into an idea of godly behavior.&nbsp; But at what a cost!&nbsp; Assurance of eternal life is the basis for living the Christian life.&nbsp; If you don&rsquo;t know you are saved and have eternal life you do not know the power of living the Christian life.&nbsp; You will always be trying to be good enough to not have anyone call your salvation into doubt.&nbsp; It invites you to works instead of grace.</p>

Coming to Christ makes one a believer while coming after Christ makes one a disciple. All believers are not disciples. To become a believer one accepts the invitation of the Gospel, to be a disciple one obeys the challenge of a life of dedicated service and separation. Salvation comes through the sacrifice of Christ, but discipleship comes only through the sacrifice of self and surrender to his call for devoted service. Salvation is free, but discipleship involves paying the price of a separated walk. Salvation cannot be lost because it depends upon God&rsquo;s faithfulness, but discipleship can be lost because it depends upon our faithfulness.&rdquo; &ndash;Dr. M.R. DeHaan</p>

<p>Contrast this with what you&rsquo;ve already learned about how God wants us to know we have eternal life now and that no one can take it away from us.&nbsp; Don&rsquo;t let anyone take that hope away from you either (Jn 10:28-29).</p>

<p>Why is salvation so easy?&nbsp; It&rsquo;s only easy for us because Jesus did the redeeming work and paid the whole cost.&nbsp; Hence Christ&rsquo;s cry of victory as He died on the cross, His mission accomplished! (Jn 19:30; Heb 10:10-12).&nbsp; It only sounds spiritual, but rather is insulting to God, to try to pay the price for salvation.</p>
