DO YOU CONFESS THAT CHRIST IS LORD?

We all know that none are saved except those who confess that Christ is Lord. But what does it mean to confess Christ as Lord? All religious people make such a confession with their lips; but that certainly cannot be salvation. Even Satan acknowledges the Lordship of Christ in that way. To confess that Christ is Lord is to acknowledge him as Lord by a heart surrender and commitment to his as such. True saving faith involves a submission of the heart to the Lord Jesus Christ. This submission of the heart to Christ is the ruling principle of every believer's life. Without this willing, voluntary submission of the heart there is no salvation.
