The sermon today stressed on our Christian living coming under the Lordship of Jesus and that our lives in God and service for him should be an outflow of a grateful heart.
Our pastor highlighted the impossibility of separating the person of Christ from the work of Christ, that we cannot have him as our Saviour if we don't also have him as our Lord. I have not heard of such a dichotomy before. But apparently some of us, by our own conscious choice, take Jesus as our Saviour but refuse to live in his Lordship, hence a life without obedience and without the Spirit of God in us.
Some of us may not even realize it and do that in our daily living, thinking that we have Jesus as our Saviour but living our lives as we please.
Is your life a living sacrifice unto God or do you live by the gratification of your own desires?

Makes me think of Acts 2:36. The Father made Jesus both Lord and Christ. Cannot really accept him in part. It is a package deal.
