SUBJECT: Authority<\/p>\n
TITLE: The Authority of the New Testament<\/p>\n
PROPOSITION: The New Testament is authoritative to direct our lives today.<\/p>\n
OBJECTIVE: To teach that authority is something that cannot be disregarded.<\/p>\n
1. Read: Matthew 28:18-20.<\/p>\n
2. Regarding this text:<\/p>\n
1) The last item in this “Great Commission” is Jesus’ promise of eternal presence.<\/p>\n
2) Next to last are the two participle explanations of “HOW” the command is to be implemented:<\/p>\n
a. Baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit; and<\/p>\n
b. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.<\/p>\n
3) The command Jesus gave is “Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations.<\/p>\n
4) And all of this is to be done on the basis of the absolute authority of Jesus.<\/p>\n
5) Jesus has and exercises this authority in heaven and on the earth.<\/p>\n
6) This authority, then, is the absolutely essential ingredient in the process of salvation, becoming a God, Christ and Holy Spirit recognized disciple.<\/p>\n
3. Reference to S.T.P.O.<\/p>\n
DISCUSSION: Let us consider –<\/p>\n
I. The authority of God:<\/p>\n
1. In the Old Testament;<\/p>\n
1) Why be concerned about God’s authority in the Old Testament?<\/p>\n
a. Romans 15:4;<\/p>\n
b. Romans 7:13.<\/p>\n
2) Consider these examples of God’s authority in the Old Testament:<\/p>\n
a. Genesis 1:1;<\/p>\n
b. Genesis 2:16-17;<\/p>\n
c. Genesis 6:13-16; Leviticus 10:9-10.<\/p>\n
2. In the New Testament;<\/p>\n
1) Matthew 3:1-3; and<\/p>\n
2) Matthew 21:23-27.<\/p>\n
II. The source of the New Testament.<\/p>\n
1. 2 Timothy 3:15-17.<\/p>\n
2. 1 Corinthians 2:6-13.<\/p>\n
3. Ephesians 3:3-5.<\/p>\n
4. 2 Peter 1:16-21.<\/p>\n
5. John 14:26.<\/p>\n
6. John 16:12-14.<\/p>\n
III. The application of New Testament authority.<\/p>\n
1. “Speak where the Bible speaks; be silent where the Bible is silent; do Bible things in Bible ways; and call Bible things by Bible names.”<\/p>\n
2. 2 John 9-11.<\/p>\n
3. 1 Corinthians 4:6.<\/p>\n
4. Acts 15:6-12 (example); 13-18 (direct statement); and 19-21 (true inference).<\/p>\n
5. Applying this specifically, we notice a parallel from our daily lives: grafting…<\/p>\n
1) Into some native or unimproved tree a new or improved limb is grafted.<\/p>\n
2) From that graft on, everything authorized by the new graft is grown, everything, but ONLY what is essentially involved in the graft.<\/p>\n
3) One may graft several different types into one tree trunk, but only that which is essential to each individual graft will grow on the graft.<\/p>\n
4) Also, if any part of the graft is undesirable, then and only then it must be cut off.<\/p>\n
5) In the New Testament the same principle applies.<\/p>\n
6) When God gives authority for something, everything, but only, what is authorized may be done and used to carry out that authority.<\/p>\n
6. Consider these specifics:<\/p>\n
1) Salvation;<\/p>\n
2) The Lord’s supper;<\/p>\n
3) Prayer; and<\/p>\n
4) Singing.<\/p>\n
CONCLUSION:<\/p>\n
1. We have considered:<\/p>\n
1) The authority of God in the Old Testament and in the New Testament;<\/p>\n
2) The source of the New Testament; and<\/p>\n
3) The application of New Testament authority.<\/p>\n
2. Let us be in submission to the Father of Spirits and live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
