The resounding New Testament message is that "JESUS IS LORD".
He is Lord because he has victoriously defeated sin, death and the devil and in doing so has reconciled us and the world unto God, 2 Corinthians 5:18, 19.
Paul wrote, "And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it" Colossians 2:15.
Jesus is Lord because, "God has highly exalted him and has given him a name above every name. That at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" Philippians 2:9-11.
Because of the work of Christ this is now the age of grace and faith. Now, all who do nothing more than call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved, Romans 10:13. All because Jesus has victoriously defeated sin, death and the devil and is Lord over all things, Colossians 1:20.
To deny that salvation has been made available to all is to deny the Gospel and the Lordship of Jesus Christ. "But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death FOR EVERYONE" Hebrews 2:9.
"Jesus is Lord" and he is Lord over sin, death and the devil. To deny that Jesus is Lord is to confess that you do not have faith or confidence in him. To deny that Jesus is Lord is to exclude yourself from the kingdom of God.
