Consider This

A person cannot separate Jesus' Saviorhood from His Lordship. He is Lord and Savior. (Acts 2:36). If a person rejects Christ's Lordship over him/her,  he has no right to claim Him as his Savior . -Rick

Jesus will save anyone  who comes to Him.  One does not need to get it all together before he comes to Christ.  A person does not need to conquer all sin, or be holy to come to Jesus.  One must come just as he is- confessing that he is a sinner, willing for Jesus to take control of his life. - Rick

A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic--on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg--or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing  nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. -- C.S. Lewis

Just suppose next Lord's Day morning you were shaving and listening to the radio. The newscaster announced that the night before at exactly midnight every house of prostitution, every pornographic shop, every gambling casino, and every house of any kind of sin very mysteriously collapsed and were totally destroyed. Your reaction would probably be, "Praise the Lord." When you went to Sunday School somebody would ask you, "How do you account for that? What do you think happened?" I am sure you would reply, "It was the hand of God. God was surely in that." Of course, you'd be right. The unbelievers may not accept your explanation, and the newspapers and TV newscasters may be inventing all kinds of theories, but you would attribute the whole thing to God and rejoice in His sovereign work.

God or the Devil?
Now just suppose the following Sunday morning you were again shaving and the same newscaster said, "Last night at exactly midnight every single Bible-believing church in the country very mysteriously collapsed and was totally destroyed." I wonder what you would say then? Would most Christians say, "Bless the Lord," or would they say, "It was the devil"? Why would anyone blame - or rather, credit - God for the first situation (the destroying of the bad places), and then credit the devil with the destruction of the churches? If we understood the Scripture clearly, especially texts like Romans 11:36 and Romans 8:28, we would be forced to acknowledge the hand of God both times. -- John Reisinger
