[quote=Resident Skeptic]I’ll explain so it is easy to understand. We come to him making no promises, only surrendering to his Lordship, trusting him by his Spirit to daily make us what he wants us to be. We surrender to his lordship as we are, sinful. By surrendering our being to his Lordship, God then forgives us for Christ;s sake. The message of the gospel is the lordship of Christ. The forgiveness of sins is a byproduct of that message. But Christ is the focus of the gospel, not us. [quote]Jesus is Lord. I’m not questioning that. But the message of the Gospel is that Jesus died our death, our judgment, our sin, our curse and the religious tree of death that brought all of this on us away and was raised with our new life and exalted with us to the highest place in Heaven. He IS our life, our Lord, our Savior…we are ONE with Him, seated with Him, hidden with Him, created in Him.Our obedience is our faith in Him, who He is and who He has made us in Him.
