Obedience.
I once heard it said that "if Jesus is not Lord of all, He is not Lord at all." We cannot take away Jesus Lordship. He is Lord whether or not we believe it, but, we can deny His Lordship over our lives. Free will allows this. Romans 12:1 tells us to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice. This means we need to be obedient to the Lord at all times if we truly seek to follow Him. That is a very hard thing to do for al of us. Remember, we are being real here. Think about it, "Yes Lord" is the only response we can safely make. Rick Warren wrote, "No Lord" is a contradiction in terms." If we can say no to Him, is He really Lord? That's the challenge: to obey the still small voice, to do the will of God, to do what He commands. How obedient are you?
