How do we know the authority of Jesus is true?

Answered in 7 sources

Jesus' authority is affirmed in scripture, particularly Matthew 28:18, where He declares, 'All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.'

The authority of Jesus is foundational to Christian belief, established in Matthew 28:18, where He claims, 'All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.' This authority is not comes from human sources but is divinely granted, underpinning His mission and the commands that follow. It assures believers that when they go forth to fulfill the Great Commission, they do so under His supreme authority, promising His presence and support. This concept of authority includes sovereignty over all creation, where even the smallest occurrences are aligned with His will. Thus, believers can confidently engage in missions, knowing they operate under the guidance and power of an omnipotent God.
