Conclusion:

Many a man, woman, boy, and girl has come toknow and to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as their own Messiah and Saviour, butfolks, our being saved does not make Christ Jesus the Lord of our lives, doesit?

He may have saved you from the penalty of sin,but have YOU made Him to be the complete Lord—the One in complete charge, ofall your life, all your decisions, and all of your very being?

If not, why not allow Him to be all that He desires to be in your life today?
