The Lordship of Jesus is a central doctrine in Christian theology, affirming Jesus Christ as the supreme authority and ruler over all creation, as declared in Psalms 103:19, which states that "The Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all."

The acknowledgment of Jesus' lordship is essential to the Christian faith, as it recognizes his sovereignty over all aspects of life, as expressed in Philippians 2:11, where every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
