You must change Lordships. The word lord means master, which means "he to whom a person or thing belongs, about which he has power of deciding." Sin is now the Lord and Master of your life. You must give up your master position and make Yahshua your Lord and Master. This entails obeying his commandments, bowing your knees to Yahweh and Yahshua and submitting to their will. We are born in sin, a slave to sin. Christ, who was sinless, died for all of us in order that we may live through his works. He paid the price to redeem us from our old master, sin. He now becomes our new Master, if we so choose and he asks us that we no longer live for ourselves but for him, who in our behalf died and rose again. Salvation comes to you as a "gift." Romans 6:23 says, "the gift of Yahweh is life age-abiding." And Romans 6:23 is not the only verse to call salvation a gift. In Romans 5:15-17, the word "gift" is used five times! You don't work for a giftit is freely given. The gift of salvation and life age-abiding is being offered to you simply because Yahweh desires your fellowship. He wants you to live with Him, too, but that is up to youit is your decision. You can have life age-abiding through Christ if you so desire or you can choose age-abiding death.
