Authority
Authority—root = author
--The originator of the thing
--Power to accomplish what you say proves authority
--Acting of oneself
--A human being only has authority that God gives him
Three things that God’s Authority does (God as Supreme and Creator)
1. Brings order out of chaos
--Divides the things that are not the same
2. Brings it into existence and sets the rules for its existence
3. Rewards the proper use of the thing that was set up
Authority comes from the position you hold
If God isn’t creator of earth—no God, etc.
Insanity is when people do not line up with the authority of God as he
Ought to be
Authority-- is connected with words
God’s word is the greatest proof of God’s existence
