The Gospel teaches that Jesus possesses all power both in heaven and on earth, enabling Him to save and sustain His people.
The Gospels affirm the comprehensive authority of Jesus Christ as the Son of God. In Matthew 28:18, Jesus proclaims, 'All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.' This powerful proclamation underscores His sovereignty over all creation and His ability to accomplish His purpose in saving His people. His authority extends not just over physical realities but over spiritual matters, offering both healing and eternal life through His redemptive work. His power assures believers that their salvation is secure, as it is upheld by the omnipotent will of God that cannot fail. Consequently, the knowledge of Christ's power imbues the believer with confidence, knowing that they are kept by His strength through faith.
