THE IMPERATIVE OF BIBLICAL AUTHORITY
*Colossians 3:17*
*Introduction*: In our last lesson, we examined the *need* for an objective standard of authority, in light of the principle of Judges 21:25!
The many substitutes that are often used lead to confusion, division, and chaos.
Today, let us study what the Bible says about the necessity of Biblical authority.
* I.
The Authority Principle Stated - Colossians 3:17*
A.
"*/Whatever/* you do. .
." - the */extent/* of authority.
B.
". .
.in */word/* or */deed/* . .
." - the */areas/* of authority.
C.
". .
.do */all/* in the */name of the Lord Jesus. .
./*" - the */source/* of authority.
(cf.
Acts 3:6; 19:13-16)
* II.
The Authority Principle Illustrated*
A.
In the Old Testament:
1.
Leviticus 10:1-3 - */Nadab/* and */Abihu/*.
2. 2 Samuel 6:1-11 - */Uzzah/* and the */Ark/* of the Covenant.
3.
The */Word/* of God was the standard of */ authority/* in the Old Testament.
B.
In the New Testament:
1.
The Great */Commission/* - Matt.
28:18-20; Mk. 16:15,16; Lk. 24:46-49; Acts 1:4-8; 2:14-41.
2.
*/Worship/* - John 4:24; 1 Cor.
11:17-29; 14:3-5,14,15; 16:1,2.
*Conclusion*: When the principle of the authority is once recognized, then - and only then - will men strive to learn God's will and honor Him by submitting to that will! (2 Tim.
3:16,17; 2 Pet.
1:3).
