What does the Bible say about God's authority?

Answered in 5 sources

The Bible affirms that all authority belongs to Jesus Christ, who said, 'All authority has been given unto me in heaven and on earth.'

The Bible speaks clearly about the authority of Christ, emphasizing that it is absolute and sovereign. In Matthew 28:18, Jesus declares, 'All authority has been given unto me in heaven and in earth.' This authority is not limited and represents His dominion over all creation. Christ's authority is also evident in His judgments, especially over false religion and practices that distort the gospel. For example, when Jesus cleansed the temple, He asserted His authority over the worship practices of the people, underscoring that His house shall be called a house of prayer. Therefore, recognizing Christ’s authority is fundamental for true worship and understanding one's relationship to God.
