Understanding God’s Authority: Lessons from 1 Kings and the Reverence for His Word

This exploration delves into the essential connection between God's authority and Biblical teachings, emphasizing how rejecting scripture means rejecting God as our King. Through the example of Jeroboam in 1 Kings 12, we learn the dangers of deviating from God's commandments, outlined in Exodus and Deuteronomy, such as creating golden calves and appointing non-Levitical priests. Jesus, affirmed as our King in Matthew and Acts, calls us to respect His Word. We must evaluate whom we truly seek to please and recognize that our allegiance to God is tied to honoring His scripture.
