Thought of the Day !!

Through Christ, God has given us the privilege and authority as apostles to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name.
Romans 1:5 (NLT)

As Christians we are called to be Christ-like. If we call Jesus "Lord" then it means that He is the one that we put above us, and that we have decided to obey Him. And when we obey Him, we bring glory to His name.

So if obeying Jesus brings glory to His name, consequently disobedience by Christians would take that glory away. To put it another way, to not do as Jesus wants us to do brings dishonor to His name, therefore dishonor to Him. Is this what we want to do to the one we choose to call "Lord"?

In the love of Christ,
