There
is no other kind "And he said, 'Who are you Lord?' Then the
Lord said, 'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard
for you to kick against the goads.' So he, trembling and astonished
said, 'Lord, what will you have me to do?' (obedience:
Lordship- discipleship) Then the Lord said to him, 'Arise,
and go into the city, and it will be shown you what you must do.'"
Acts 9:5-6 "You call me teacher and Lord, and you say
well, for so I am." John 13:13. "If you love me (true
heart conversion, not mere mental assent) keep my
commandments." John 14:12 "Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and do
not the things that I say?" Luke 6:46 "This is my
commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you".
John 15:12 Christ, unlike pagan philosophers, did not merely dole
out good advice, He gave Himself for us, physically
suffered for us, sacrificed Himself for us (John 15:13), and tells
us to doveo the same for all humanity, even unbelievers, since He
also loved us "when we were yet sinners", and "we love Him because
He first loved us". Finally, "All authority has been given to
Me in heaven and in earth (He is Lord). Go and
make disciples of all nations (no difference between
discipleship and salvation), baptising them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them
to observe all things that I have commanded you, and lo, I
am with you always, to the end of the world." Matthew 28:18-20
