<p>Many may have done this out of concern that with a gospel of pure grace, people can be saved and not be living godly lives.&nbsp; Therefore, they have taken it upon themselves to modify God&rsquo;s word and change the conditions of salvation.&nbsp; This teaching seems to be growing in popularity in evangelical Christianity.&nbsp; We must be aware of it and its dangers.</p>

<p>Contrary to Paul in Romans 12:1-2, Lordship salvation takes an alternate view.&nbsp; They say that you must first make Jesus Lord of your life in order to be saved.&nbsp; In this topic we will look further into this issue.</p>

<p>What could be more spiritual, what could be a higher goal, than to call people to a more obedient life in Christ?&nbsp; But to do that, from a human perspective, some think we need to hold something over their heads.&nbsp; So, instead of taking the biblical approach and trusting someone&rsquo;s growth to God&rsquo;s grace and discipline, some want to hold a bigger weapon over someone&rsquo;s head.&nbsp; What better of a weapon than to be able to say to someone, &ldquo;Maybe you&rsquo;re not really saved&rdquo;?</p>

<p>Either Paul missed something or the teachers of Lordship salvation have!</p>

<p>Lordship salvation does include unclear terms and extra steps.&nbsp; When someone presents it we must turn away from it.&nbsp; It is a dangerous false teaching that clouds and complicates the clear and simple gospel of grace.&nbsp; In contrast, we must keep it simple and clear.</p>
