This is Christ’s title of , that of . All , as found in the Old Testament, are compounded into that one name, . In the study of the names of God, we saw that the word “God” in the Authorized Version comes from the Hebrew word , which is the ; and that the word “LORD” or “GOD,” comes from the Hebrew word Jehovah, which is the of God; and that the word “lord,” or “Lord” (small letters), comes from the Hebrew word , meaning .

In the New Testament the word “Lord” comes from the Greek word , which is translated in the Authorized Version as . This rendering is equivalent to the Old Testament Adonai — Master. And , is our Master: “And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him” (); “Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a ” ().

As stated above, the title “Lord” also includes another name for God, and that is , and we know this by the way it is used in the New Testament.

Even in marriage one should abide by the will of the Lord Jesus Christ: “The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord” (). These words take on a deeper meaning as you realize that a Christian should not only marry another Christian, but that he should do so only if it is according to the . And after marriage the will of the Lord should be desired: “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord” ().

No man can call Jesus Lord, except by the Holy Spirit, for the flesh () does not recognize Christ as Lord: “I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost” ().
