For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. (Romans 14:11)
Every being on earth, above the earth, and under the earth will one day bow before the throne of Almighty God. If you have not called Jesus Christ your Lord willingly in this life, one day you will be made to do it. You don’t want to wait until it’s not your decision. God wants you to love Him now and confess Him willingly. God wants our confession of faith and allegiance to be an act of love, gratitude, and genuine surrender to Him. He longs for our knees to bow and our tongues to confess the Lordship of Jesus Christ out of the overflow of our hearts.
Those who do not make that confession with their mouths from their hearts will one day do it, but not out of loving surrender. On that day, the reality of God’s power and might will overwhelm them. At that point, it will be too late for them to decide from their own heart. Their acknowledgement of Jesus as Savior will not bring about their salvation because they rejected Him when they could choose.
As mature believers, we should be inspired to witness, outreach, and pray for those who haven’t yet confessed Jesus as Lord.
We need to set an example for others by sincerely worshipping the Lord, obeying Him out of love, and having unwavering faith in Him.
We have the privilege of bowing willingly, with a heart of love and a life of faith.
Let us bow every part of our lives, giving God the Lordship of every choice, every word, and every moment as examples to the world around us of His goodness and love.
Practical Application
Who do you need to pray for today that you are not sure has given their lives to Christ? Intercede on their behalf and ask the Lord what He would have you say or display before them to be a witness to His love and power.
