every knee will have bowed, and every tongue will have confessed Jesus as Lord, giving praise to God
James 2:19. Isn’t the point of this verse that anyone can proclaim that they believe that Jesus is Lord?
So the Romans passage is only significant if it actually means that people have confessed him out of admiration, joy, and commitment. The Philippians passage illustrates Jesus ultimate example of sacrifice and love prior to this verse. No wonder all confess him as Lord. Who wouldn’t want to receive him?
