Spiritual_Authority ObSObS BOOKMOBI ! 4 & . 69 > F L L M| N O O O zK MOBI ֣ P EXTH d David Sheats e NTChurchSource.com g )"All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth," Christ said (Matt. 28:18). He did not follow that with "and now I give you authority." Natural authority is delegated by men to other men, but spiritual authority is never delegated to any man, group of men, or organization. Spiritual authority remains in the life of God under the direction of the Head. Christ retains all responsibility and authority, assuring that His purpose will not fail. God has chosen to work through man, but our obedience is unto God, and recognizing the authority of God forms the basis of our faith. After defining and expounding on the essentiality of spiritual authority, this pamphlet discusses how it flows through all the functioning of the church, keeping God fully in control but with man fully involved. t Z , , c Spiritual Authority
