Scripture attests to Christ's authority and His role as the head of the church, ensuring its ultimate victory. (Colossians 2:10)
We can be assured of Christ's authority over the church through the testimony of Scripture, which consistently affirms His sovereignty and headship. Colossians 2:10 states that we are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. This underscores the fact that Christ holds absolute authority, governing the church and all creation. His completed work on the cross and subsequent resurrection serve as the basis for our faith in His authority. Additionally, Christ continuously intercedes for His people, further solidifying our confidence in His divine reign, which assures us that the church will not falter but will triumph until the end.
