Confessing Christ as Lord

Written By Lettie Henley

“If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.” - 1 John 4:15

Declaring Jesus Christ as the Son of God is more than just a statement, it’s a declaration that brings us into a vital, personal relationship with God. When we openly confess Jesus as Lord, we are affirming not only His divinity but also surrendering our lives to Him.

In a world that often seeks to define truth on its own terms, boldly declaring Jesus as the Son of God is an act of faith that aligns us with God's eternal purpose. It’s through this confession that the Holy Spirit takes residence in us, transforming our hearts and guiding us in truth and love.

Our declaration of Jesus as Lord is the cornerstone of our faith. It unites us with God and with believers across generations. It’s a testimony to the world that Christ is alive in us and that we are part of His divine family.

Reflection:

Take a moment to reaffirm your faith today. Confess Jesus as Lord authentically in your heart, maybe through a quiet prayer or a heartfelt declaration. Let this be a reminder that as you acknowledge Him, you carry the promise that God dwells within you, empowering you to live out His love each day.

When we confess Jesus as Lord, we step into the fullness of God’s presence and purpose for our lives. Let that confession be our daily declaration of faith and devotion.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I believe that Jesus is Your Son, and I confess Him as Lord of my life. Thank You for taking up residence in me through Your Spirit. Help me to live in a way that honors this truth, boldly sharing Your love and reflecting Your presence to those around me. May my life be a testimony that You dwell in me. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
