The saying "Jesus is Lord" serves as a statement of faith for millions of Christians who regard Jesus Christ as God (see Lord). It is the motto adopted by the World Council of Churches.
Romans 10:9 says:
- That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (NIV)
- For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living (NIV)
