Read Jude 24-25. It informs us that God has had dominion and authority from the beginning. But what does having authority really mean?

Body:

I. Exousia

Vine’s – From the meaning of “leave or permission”, or liberty of doing as one pleases, it passed to that of “the ability or strength with which one is endued”, then to that of “the power of authority”, the right to exercise power. This is the Greek word used in Jude, verse 25.

A. God

B. Secular Rulers – Romans 13:1-3

C. Believers

D. Christ

II. Epitage

III. Dunastes

IV. Onama

Invitation:

Since God’s Word says Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth, He and only He has the right to command and set the conditions for salvation.

What an extremely important subject! Should we respect the silence of Scripture? Our eternal life depends upon it. The Restoration motto: “Speak where the Bible speaks, be silent where the Bible is silent” reiterates the importance of having authority for all we do religiously.

Example: You order a new refrigerator. When the men arrive, they unload a refrigerator, a range, and a dishwasher. “Well, you didn’t say not to bring them!” We understand about silence in the everyday world. Why can’t we understand silence in religious matters? God expects us to use reason and intelligence.

There are many examples in God’s Word which well illustrate this Biblical principle. Remember Romans 15:4a “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning. . .” NKJV    Let’s look at one of them.

Text: I Chronicles 13:1-13
