1 Divine Authority: Need for It & Source of It

2 Human Thoughts & Feelings May Lead Us Astray Man’s thoughts not same as God’s (Isa. 55:8-9)   What seems right may be deadly (Prov. 14:12; 16:25)   Not in man to direct his own steps (Jer. 10:23)   Paul thought persecuting Christians was right (Acts 26:8) Feelings are the result of one’s beliefs & thoughts   Thoughts & beliefs of man may be incorrect as noted   We are warned against believing a lie (2 Thess. 2:10-12)   When Joseph was thought dead, feelings of Jacob were real & intense, but false (Gen. 37:31-36) Thus, our thoughts & feelings are insufficient guide

3 God Has Always Given Pattern Those obeying the pattern are pleasing to God   Noah in building the ark (Gen. 6:13-22; Heb. 11:7)   Moses in building the tabernacle (Exod. 25:10-40; 39:32, 43) Those violating God’s pattern displease Him   Cain in his offering (Gen. 4:1-8; Heb. 11:4)   Nadab & Abihu in offering strange fire (Lev. 10:1-2)   Change may seem minor to man, but not to God Man is forbidden from altering God’s pattern in any way (Deut 4:2; 12:32; 2 Jn. 9)

4 What Is the Source for Pattern of Authority Now?

5 Christ Has All Authority Now Jesus Christ is complete & final source for all authority in religious matters today   Matt. 17:1-8 (compare with Acts 3:22-24)   Matt. 28:18-20   Heb. 1:1-2   Col. 1:18 (also Eph. 1:22-23) Authority of Christ was revealed to man through the word given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit   John 12:48-50 (see also John 5:22)   John 14:24-26; 16:12-15

6 Gospel of Christ Reveals God’s Will & Authority for Us Revealed truth of gospel is our pattern today   2 Tim. 1:13   2 Tim. 3:16-17   Phil. 4:9   2 Thess. 2:13-15; 3:6   Jude 3-4 (compare Titus 2:11-14) New Testament is fitting pattern today because...   It is complete & final (Gal. 1:8-9; Jude 3)   It is objective (Eph. 3:1-5)   It is understandable (Eph. 5:17)   It is absolute & comprehensive (Col. 3:17)

7 Practice Is Right If & Only If Authorized by the Gospel Matt. 7:21-23 Acts 4:19-20 Acts 5:29 Jas. 4:12 Acts 13:4-12 Rom. 1:16-17 2 Tim. 1:8-13
