Authority and Submission
8.700 CFA
Our God is a God of divine order and arrangement, and He desires that all things be gathered under one head in Christ (Eph. 1:10). In opposition to God’s will, there is rebellion and chaos in God’s creation because of the fall of mankind. According to the divine plan, the restoration of order in the universe is centered on the relationship between Christ, the Head, and the church, His Body. Christ has been made Head over all things to the church (Eph 1:22), and the living exercise of authority and submission within the Body of Christ is central to the fulfillment of God’s will. In Authority and Submission Watchman Nee presents many helpful principles and examples from Scripture that relate to the proper exercise of authority and submission, an exercise that is according to the divine life in the Body of Christ.
