Authority In The Word

Abraham, Noah, Moses, Elijah & David were very efficient conductors of the power of God’s Word. God’s authority was in the message He gave them, and they were motivated to obey God’s message, because of God’s love, wisdom & grace within the message. There is nothing more powerful in our universe than divine love issuing God’s perfect grace, mercy & justice, Psalm 19:7, His word in the Bible is the epitome of authority. But to usher in the New Superior Covenant of His Word, He used Mary. Jesus embodies God’s presence, and after his resurrection, he proclaims that all authority is his, Matthew 28:18-20. From the very beginning of Scripture, God has proclaimed an affinity within Light, Life and His purpose in bringing them into humanity. Jesus knew this put Him in a position of authoritative power. The following passages make a logical conclusion that we dare not reject, or face eternal punishment.
