I. Introduction
All true believers receive their authority and power from God is a common one in the Bible.
This closely with the fact that believers should not fear what man can do to them, but rather fear God, who holds eternity in his hands.
II.
Believers do not operate on their own authority!
A. Paul emphasizes that he was called to be an apostle by Jesus Christ, not by any human authority.
B. Paul emphasizes that believers have received their gifts and abilities through the grace of Christ, rather than through their own merit.
C. Paul emphasizes that believers have been saved and called to a holy calling not because of their own works, but because of the purpose and grace of God.
D. Paul emphasizes that believers have been called by God, not because of their own wisdom, power, or social status, but because God has chosen to use the weak and foolish things of the world to shame the wise and strong.
E. Paul emphasizes that he became a minister to the church in Colossae through the stewardship or authority that God had given him, and that his ministry was to make the word of God fully known to the believers.
F. Paul emphasizes that he has been appointed to serve Christ and do his work, not because of his own faithfulness or merit, but because Christ judged him faithful and gave him strength.
III.
As Christians we are not obligated to man as the world sees it, bur rather our obligations ought to be to God alone!
A. Jesus encourages his disciples not to fear those who can only kill their physical bodies, but rather to fear God, who has the power to destroy both the soul and the body in hell.
B. Jesus again encourages his disciples not to fear those who can only kill their physical bodies, but rather to fear God, who has the authority to cast both the soul and the body into hell.
C. The psalmist expresses his trust in God, and his confidence that no matter what man may do to him, he has nothing to fear, because God is with him.
D. God encourages his people not to fear, because he is with them and will strengthen, help, and uphold them.
E. Paul reminds believers that God has not given them a spirit of fear, but rather a spirit of power, love, and self-control, which enables them to overcome fear and live confidently in the face of challenges.
IV.
Conclusion.
A. These examples show that the Bible teaches that believers receive their authority and power from God, rather than from human agency or their own merit.
B. The Bible also encourages believers not to fear what man can do to them, but rather to fear God, who holds eternity in his hands.
C. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you when you are filled with the Holy Ghost!
You don’t have to live in the dead things of this world, but you can have LIFE!
1. God is Sovereign!
Meaning He is the One who has supreme, permanent authority.
I.
Not just in this world, but in ALL PLACES!
Let God be Sovereign!
