Authority
Authority, according to the Bible, is characterized by a unique nature: there is no authority except from God.
He who resists authority resists God, and those who resist will incur judgment.
There is no possibility of rebellion without judgment.
The consequence of resisting authority is death.
Man has no choice in the matter of authority.
Authority
We must be Subject to Delegated Authority as well as to God’s Direct Authority, for there is no Authority Except from God.
Authority
As the Son He Willingly Submits to the Father’s Authority and Declares that the Father is Greater than I.
Thus there is Perfect Harmony in the Godhead.
Gladly the Father takes the Place of the Head, and the Son Responds with Obedience.
God becomes the Emblem of Authority, while Christ assumes the symbol of Obedience.
Authority
There is no Authority except from God.
All Authorities have been Instituted by Him.
God is Above All Authorities, and All Authorities are under Him.
In Touching God’s Authority we Touch God Himself.
God’s Work basically is done not by power but by Authority.
He Upholds all things by Powerful Word of His Authority, even as He Created them by the Same Word.
His Word of Command is Authority.
Authority
Before we can Work for God we must be Overturned by His Authority.
Our entire relationship with God is regulated by whether or not we have Met Authority.
If we have, then we shall encounter Authority everywhere, and being thus Restrained by God we can begin to be Used by Him.
Authority
We who are so self-righteous and yet so blind need once in our life to encounter God’s Authority so that we may be Broken Unto Submission to begin to Learn Obedience to the Authority of God.
