How do we know the authority of Christ is true?

Answered in 7 sources

The authority of Christ is established by His divine nature as the Son of God, demonstrating sovereignty over all creation (Colossians 1:16-17).

The authority of Christ is affirmed throughout Scripture, particularly in passages like Colossians 1:16-17, which proclaims, 'For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.' This establishes His position as the ultimate authority over all creation. Furthermore, Christ's role as the head of the Church is evidenced in His sacrificial love and redemptive power, which invites believers into a relationship of trust and submission under His lordship.
