Myth #1: Jesus Can Be Your Savior And Not Your Lord

Many people who consider themselves Christians think as long as they asked Jesus to be their Savior sometime during their life, they are guaranteed a ticket to heaven.  They say that they believe Christ died to forgive them for their sins, but as far as Christ's Lordship over their life is concerned, they say they are "working" toward that goal.  Those Christians think that receiving Christ is like buying a car - you can get the basic model, and later you may decide to buy the more expensive model.  In other words, you can choose basic Christianity with Jesus as your Savior, and later you can decide whether to choose the more costly, discipleship option with Jesus as your Lord.  However, as this eBook explains, the Bible recognizes no such option.
