THE LORDSHIP
OF
JESUS
Lesson 3
THE LORDSHIP OF JESUS

Objective: To encourage
the new believer to submit to
the Lordship of Jesus.
The Bible says all men have sinned.
Romans 3:10
As it is written: “There is no one
righteous, not even one;
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned and fall short
of the glory of God.
According to the Bible all men have
sinned (Romans 3:10, 23), because
man is a sinner Satan exercises
authority over man’s lives (John
8:34). Satan is an evil and a wicked
master, he ruins and destroys the
lives of men (John 10:10).
Because all men are sinners,
Satan Satan exercises authority over
man’s lives.
John 8:34
Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth,
everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
John 10:10
The thief comes only to steal and kill
and destroy; I have come that they
may have life, and have to the full.
