"...God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Christ and Lord." ~ Acts 2:36 ~

As Christ, Jesus freely offers eternal salvation and forgiveness of sin. As Lord, Jesus commands and deserves obedience, praise, and worship. Jesus said, "Repent and Believe in the Gospel" To repent is to turn the opposite direction from the sin in your life, and to believe in the Gospel means you believe  the Word of God as truth, and because you believe it as truth, you must act accordingly. One cannot receive the free gift of salvation and not accept Jesus as Lord of their life. Jesus said, "If you love me, obey me" If you are not trusting Jesus as Lord of your life, submitting to His will and His way of life, chances are you haven't received Him as Christ, no matter how much your emotions tell you otherwise.

Many, on that that will say Lord, Lord, and He will say, "I never knew you"
