God Is Supreme!
"For the Lord your God is the
supreme God of the heavens
above and the
earth below."
Joshua 2:1 1
We use the
word supreme to indicate someone or some
group that serves as final authority. The Supreme Court,
for example. Or Supreme Commander. Or Supreme
Leader. What is the ultimate supreme authority on
earth?
It is God and His Word. The teachings of the
Bible
are true and authoritative. They are wiser than the
rules of men, the laws of congress, the opinions of
politicians, or the ideologies of
universities.
To truly reform our world, we must return to the Word
of God as ultimate authority. If we’re going to return
our families to hopefulness and churches to revival,
it will be on the basis of the authority of Scripture.
If we’re going to solve societal problems, it must be
through application of the wisdom of God’s Word.
Tim Chester wrote, “We accept the supremacy of
Scripture because we accept the supremacy of its
author.”
It begins with us. Is the Word of God the
supreme authority over your life, governing
your attitudes, works, actions, and habits?
"To say
that Scripture is supreme is to say that
the Bible has authority in everything that really
matters—time and eternity, earth and heaven,
humanity and God."
Tim Chester
