The Need For Authority

Why do we need authority from God? Because it is not in man Jer. 10:23 O LORD, I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps. Because man chooses to do what is right in his own sight Prov. 14:12 Jud. 17:6 In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.

Why do we need authority from God? God does not think like men Isa. 55:8-9 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. Rev. 11:17 Matt. 28:18 Jas. 1:25

Therefore we need His permission for everything we do, think or say. Matt. 21:23-27 God has always required it Gen. 4:2-7 Lev. 10:1-3 2 Chr. 26:16-20

Therefore we need His permission for everything we do, think or say. Jesus the perfect example of doing everything by authority John 5:30 "I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

Therefore we need His permission for everything we do, think or say. Jesus the perfect example of doing everything by authority John 6:38 "For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. John 12:48-50

God demand that we have authority for everything today Col. 3:17 Eph. 5:15 Matt. 7:21-23

The only source of authority is the rightly divided New Testament Heb. 9:11-15 Eph. 1:18-23 Col. 1:15-19 Phil. 2: Pet. 1: Pet. 1:3 2 Tim. 3: Tim. 2:15

Everything else is 100% eliminated as a source of authority Because it is not the rightly divided New Testament New Hermeneutics John 12:48 Group Consensus Rom. 3:4 Feelings Prov. 14:12

Everything else is 100% eliminated as a source of authority Because it is not the rightly divided New Testament Human sayings Col. 2:8 Human wisdom James 3:13-18 Perceptions John 7:24

Everything else is 100% eliminated as a source of authority Because it is not the rightly divided New Testament Role models 1 Cor. 4:6 1 Cor. 11:1 Gal. 2:11-14
