Savior and/or Lord?

<idle musing>
Yesterday we finished going through the previous Tozer book. Next Tuesday will begin excerpts from Reclaiming Christianity, which unfortunately is now only available as an ebook. I have the paperback from when it was first released, so the pagination will be from that.

But, before we get to the Tozer, the editor has a preface, so for the next two days, I'll be pulling from that. Here's the first one:

Tozer also emphasized the biblical truth that there can be no Savior without Lordship. His comments flew in the face of the idea that a person could accept Jesus Christ as Savior without accepting Him as the Lord of his or her life. That idea, according to Tozer, was a great fallacy within the evangelical Church. He emphasized as much as possible the fact that Jesus Christ is both Savior and Lord. There cannot be a divided Christ. To proclaim a divided Christ is to destroy the foundation of the Church.—A.W. Tozer, Reclaiming Christianity, 11
