The authority of Jesus is affirmed through His resurrection and the transformative impact of His name on believers.
The authority of Jesus Christ is rooted in His divine nature, His miraculous works, and ultimately, His resurrection from the dead. According to Acts 4:10, Peter declares that the healing of the impotent man was performed in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom the Sanhedrin had crucified but who God raised from the dead. This event is pivotal as it validates Jesus' claims of authority in both heaven and earth. His resurrection serves as a powerful testimony to His identity and authority as the Messiah.
Moreover, the historical account and the transformative experiences of those who believe in Him further affirm this authority. As the Apostle Paul writes in Romans 1:16, the gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, underscoring that the name of Jesus carries the authority to bring about genuine change and salvation in the lives of believers.
