WHAT IS ALL THIS PANIC ABOUT "LORDSHIP SALVATION?"

I hate to say this, but I am afraid that there has been such a phobia about religious people trying to work their way to heaven, that evangelical Christians preach only that Jesus is the Savior of all who believe, and have actually risen up against anyone who dares to focus on the Lordship of Christ! Somehow, I have no idea how, they have decided believing Jesus is the Savior is not considered works, but that believing He is Lord, is!?!  Sadly, they acknowledge Jesus is the manifestation of God in the flesh, but God forbid anyone call Him Lord!  Well, I hate to be a problem, but the phrase "Lord Jesus Christ" appears eighty-four times in the New Testament, and in eighteen of the twenty-seven books!  It is my contention that "believing" is not a work, and that unless the whole Gospel record revealing His identity is preached, the lost will simply "add Jesus" to their lives, and fail to allow Him to be Lord of their lives!  Here are just a few examples of the importance of the Lordship of Jesus Christ:

*  Acts 20:21 - "Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ."
*  Romans 5:11 - "And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by Whom we have now received the atonement."
*  1 Corinthians 8:6 - "But to us there is but one God, the Father, of Whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by Whom are all things, and we by Him."
*  2 Corinthians 8:9 - "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich."
*  Galatians 6:14 - "But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by Whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world."
*  Ephesians 5:20 - "Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
*  Philippians 3:20 - "For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ."
*  Colossians 1:2 - "To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."
*  1 Thessalonians 5:9 - "For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ."
*  2 Thessalonians 2:14 - "Whereunto He called you by our Gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ."
*  1 Timothy 1:1 - "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, Who is our hope."
*  2 Timothy 4:22 - "The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen."
*  Titus 1:4 - "To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour."
*  Philemon 1:3 - "Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."
*  James 2:1 - "My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons."
*  1 Peter 1:3 - "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."
*  2 Peter 1:16 - "For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty."
*  2 John 1:3 - "Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love."
*  Jude 1:17 - "But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ."

SO WHO IS JESUS?

*  Revelation 19:16 - "And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."
