THE AUTHORITY OF CHRIST


Since “Christ is the Head of every man,” He is uniquely the Head of the church as its Savior and Lord, having redeemed and bought it with His own blood. But in His divine authority Christ is Head of every human being, believer and nonbeliever alike. “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth,” Jesus declared (Matt. 28:18). Those who willingly submit to His authority are the church, and those who rebel against His authority are the world.
