Note 15 at Phil. 2:11: Jesus Christ was referred to as "Savior" twice in the book of Acts, while He is referred to as "Lord" 92 times. This emphasizes the importance the early church put on complete submission to the authority of Jesus in their lives. In the epistles as well, He is called "Lord" hundreds of times.

Romans 10:9 is probably one of the most important focal points of the confession of Jesus' Lordship. It states, "that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." The New English Bible, Revised Standard Version, Today's English Version, The New International Version, and Williams New Testament, all translate this verse as confessing "Jesus is Lord."
