THE DANGER OF ACTING WITHOUT AUTHORITY

Introduction Jesus Christ possesses all authority (Matt. 28:18- 20; Eph. 1:20-23). We must not go beyond the things that are written (1 Cor. 4:6) or preach another gospel (Gal. 1:6-9).

Old Testament Examples Nadab and Abihu Jeroboam Uzziah

New Testament Admonitions Lawlessness Traditions Heresy

Conclusion Paul said, “Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus.” In other words, the message we preach and the methods we employ must be consistent with the authority of Christ (Col. 3:16-17).

Challenge In like manner, Peter said, “Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever” (1 Pet. 4:11). Once again, this is an acknowledgement of the need submitting to the authority of our Lord.
