Lordship Salvation is key to life

P ink reserved some of his harshest criticism for those whom he saw as corrupting the gospel message with easy-believism. “The evangelism of the day is not only superficial to the last degree, but it is radically defective.” (Studies on Saving Faith, 1930) Pink clearly foresaw, even in the 1930’s, major problems with emerging no-lordship-doctrine:


Saving faith consists of the complete surrender of my whole being and life to the claims of God upon me: “But first gave their own selves to the Lord” (2 Cor 8:5) It is unreserved acceptance of Christ as my absolute Lord, bowing to His will and receiving His yoke. Possibly someone may object, Then why are Christians exhorted as they are in Romans 12:1? We answer, All such exhortations are simply a calling on them to continue as they began : “as ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him” (Col 2:6) Mark it well that Christ is “received” as Lord. Oh, how far, far below the New Testament standard is this modern way of begging sinners to receive Christ as their own personal “Savior.” If the reader will consult his concordance, he will find that in every passage where the two titles are found together it is ALWAYS “Lord and Savior” and never vise versa. (Luke 1:46; 2 Peter 1:11; 2:20, 3:18)
