Are you weary of hearing heated debates over politics? If so, try turning disputes into a truce with these Bible tips.
- All Christians have a duty to tell the truth of God’s Word: “There is no authority except from God,” Romans 13.
- All lands are placed under God-given authority (Jeremiah 27:6.)
- All of the people in the crowd recognized Jesus’ authority as He taught them (Matthew 7:29.)
- All authority to forgive has been given to Jesus (Matthew 9:6.)
- All ill spirits must submit to Jesus’ authority (Luke 4:36.)
- All followers of Jesus have His authority and power to use for good (Luke 9:1.)
- All powerful people and worldly authorities have immeasurably less power and influence than the church Body of Christ. As the Bible explains:
“God’s
power was at work in Christ when God raised him from the dead and sat him at
God’s right side in the heavens, far above every ruler and authority and power
and angelic power, any power that might be named not only now but in the future. God put everything under Christ’s feet and
made him head of everything in the church, which is his body. His body, the church, is the fullness
of Christ, who fills everything in every way,” Ephesians 1:20-23, Common English Bible (CEB.)
Church, we have work to do! Let’s start by stopping arguments
among ourselves! Let’s unite in prayer to discern the tasks the Lord has given
each of us to do as the Body of Christ and His Ambassadors to the world.
