“WHO IS THE LORD THAT I SHOULD OBEY HIS VOICE?”

I don’t want us to get sidetracked with over elaboration of these four topics, but it is
essential that we establish that these scriptures from Isaiah add greatly to our ability in
defining, “Who is the Lord that I should obey His voice?”

This passage Isaiah 33:22 Actually,

Let us briefly comment on each of these four topics as they drive home
the point, “Who is the Lord that I should obey His voice.”

1. THE LORD is the one who SAVES US:

You must not divorce the aspect of the Lordship of Jesus Christ from the fact that He
is our Savior. It is like the old secular song about love and marriage going together like
a horse and carriage-you can’t have one without the other. If you understand that
concept then you can see why all the passages about salvation contain references
to the Lord Jesus rather than the isolated truth that He is our Savior. Truly, you can’t
have one without the other. Hear this clearly: It is the Lord who saves us:

“…THAT IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH THE LORD JESUS
AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD HAS RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD,

YOU WILL BE SAVED…
FOR "WHOEVER CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED.“

Rom. 10:9
