What does this statement mean to you?

Question

Either Jesus is Lord of all or not Lord at all.

I would like to say that God is first in my life at all times, but I would be lying and not being honest.

The older I become I realize life is short and I want to make a difference in this life and not just exsist but live.

For 2 years I was furoius with God and did not want to serve him anymore, I am past that now, but what are godly ways to seek God Jesus and the Holy Spirirt first and seek them first and keep them first all the days of my life?

Answer 1

this would be the toughest question that any Christian has to ask themselves.
We are all fallible.
The start - of course - is to ask forgiveness for your anger at him, and also to forgive yourself.
Continue to keep him foremost in your daily life. He will reveal his plan for you when he is ready. Yeah I know that sounds like just so much blah blah blah, but really first and foremost he wants our obedience. Seek him and he will answer.

Answer 2

Either Jesus is Lord of all or not Lord at all.

I believe in the second part, because God, has created Jesus. To me, he is a messenger: prophet.

Logically, it makes sense. And once we follow the message of peace that Jesus has brought to us from God, then we will be in a better place to live until he comes back.

Thats what i believe and thats what most Muslims believe.

Answer 3

I hate absolute statements like that. It's why there is no "good enough."

If you make a statement like that about your brother, it's rigid and terse. Either my brother is my brother or he is not my brother at all. Black/white, and lacking truth.

You could become a nun and make God first all the days of your life, but if you turn away a hungry child to serve a God that needs nothing, it won't be as satisfying as you think.

Do good things. Love God. Pray. Let him visit with you sometimes by meditating. Don't hurt anyone if you can help it. And remember that God is extremely resourceful.

Live well~

Answer 4

Lord is a title. There were several "Lords" in the time of Jesus. God is God, and Jesus is his son. Start with a good bible study course.

Matthew 16: 15-17 15. He (Jesus) said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16. Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ (Messiah), the Son of the living God. 17. Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, But My Father who is in heaven.”

Answer 5

You can not serve two masters. Spirit and self ( flesh) . Jesus came to serve and we are to model his existence. Keep in mind we are human and also need to keep ourselves out of strife and weary. We still need to take time for ourselves and not be door mats to all groups. Stay in prayer and the Word. Close accounts of these items and you will be just fine. Keep your eye on the prize. May God bless you and keep you safe.

Answer 6

In everything you do, search it for a way that you can glorify God. No matter how insignificant you think it is, you can Glorify God in what you do. Set your mind on things above, not of this world. Jesus tells us that himself. Openly share your faith in Christ with everyone who will listen. Don't be pushy, don't be rude, do not judge. For those who will listen, share!

Answer 7

You know whats right and wrong, we all do, practice righteousness and seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven and all else will be added unto you.

Answer 8

Read and search is word,

Fall in love with Jesus!

Praise and adore him continually

Thank him for all things, alway

Blessings!

(Proverbs 1:22-33 KJV)
22: How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23: Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24: Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25: But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27: When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28: Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31: Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32: For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33: But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

(Proverbs 2:1-22 KJV)
1: My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
2: So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3: Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4: If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5: Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
6: For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7: He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8: He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
9: Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
10: When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11: Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
12: To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
13: Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14: Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
15: Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
16: To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
17: Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
18: For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
19: None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
20: That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
21: For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
22: But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

God bless you...
