Lordship
In the Bible, the concept of "Lordship" primarily refers to the authority and sovereignty of God over creation and humanity. The term is often associated with the Hebrew word "Adonai," which signifies a master or lord, and is used in contexts that emphasize God's ultimate control and governance over all things (Psalm 24:1). In the New Testament, the Greek word "Kyrios" is used, which also conveys authority, often used in reference to Jesus Christ as Lord, emphasizing His divine nature and authority to save and rule over believers (Romans 10:9).Lordship in a Christian context also implies submission and obedience to God's will. This is exemplified in the teachings of Jesus, who calls His followers to acknowledge His lordship through their actions and lifestyle, as seen in Matthew 7:21-23, where He states that not everyone who calls Him "Lord" will enter the kingdom of heaven, but those who do the will of His Father. Thus, biblical lordship encompasses both the recognition of God's sovereignty and the personal response of faith, obedience, and discipleship to His authority.
