Where Was it From?
It is good to examine our beliefs and practices in light of scripture. Did they originate from God or were they invented by man? In other words: “By what authority are we doing these things?” Let’s talk about authority today as we study God’s word together. We’ll see how Jesus skillfully answered a question with a question, and what we can learn about Christ and authority. Jesus’ skillful reply to a sneaky question. What God said during Jesus’ transfiguration that validates Christ’s authority. Jesus’s authority in the church. Why the words Jesus spoke on earth were automatically authoritative. Do you know what will judge you? The Bible tells us plainly! What Jesus did with the words our Heavenly Father gave him. Where the apostles got their doctrine, and why it’s still authoritative today. Why it’s wrong to add to or subtract from scripture.
