Jesus as LORD
Jesus spoke of this concept of putting trust in him over all others, for example in Mt 10:37 "Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me."
As a matter of fact, Jesus is LORD, and acknowledging this fact is essential for salvation, along with believing that fact of his resurrection, "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." Rom 10:9 But such faith is in vain if the implications don't find application in your relationship with the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?" Lk 6:46 For to call Jesus LORD is to declare one's intention to do what he said, else one's declaration is in vain.
A person who trusts in Jesus is one who will believe everything that Jesus said directly or by proxy through his apostles. (Jesus said to his apostles, "He who listens to you listens to me; he who rejects you rejects me; but he who rejects me rejects him who sent me." Lk 10:16 and John writes, "We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us." 1John 4:6)
