Why is Christ's authority significant for Christians?
Answered in 1 source
Christ's authority is paramount as He speaks with divine power and commands our obedience.
The authority of Christ is foundational to the Christian faith, establishing Him not only as the Redeemer but also as the sovereign ruler. In John 10:18, Jesus asserts, 'No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself,' reflecting His sovereign command over His life and death. His authority assures believers of the reliability of His teachings and the power of His promises. The miraculous signs He performed are not mere wonders; they affirm His divine nature and authority. For Christians, recognizing Christ's authority motivates us to submit to Him, trust in His promises, and embrace the gospel’s teachings as ultimate truth.
