Definition: The power to enforce laws, exact obedience, command, determine or judge
Scriptures: Romans 13:1-7 - ministers
Colossians 2:6-15 - believer
through Jesus Christ
1 Samuel 15 - authority gone
awry with Saul
Luke 7:1-10 - the centurion
God has given us the hierarchy of authority to protect our lives. Parents, teachers, law enforcement are some of the roles of authority placed over our lives.
Three important points about Authority
1. Those in authority over you are your
covering, they are responsible for you
2. In EVERY area of our life we will either
be in authority or be under authority,
we need to do both responsibly.
3. To submit yourself to the authority of
your leaders,does not mean you are
mindless or weak. It means that you
are participating in this God-ordained
principle and will reap the rewards of
doing so.
