Christ's authority: impact on decisions?
How can acknowledging Christ's authority influence your daily decision-making and priorities?

Christ's Supreme Authority

Hebrews 1:13: “But to which of the angels has He ever said: ‘Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet’?”

Supporting passages

Matthew 28:18 — all authority is His

Colossians 1:16-18 — He holds all things together

Philippians 2:9-11 — every knee will bow


Why His Authority Shapes Every Choice

• His word outranks opinions, trends, convenience

• Obedience becomes worship

• Every role gains eternal weight under His kingship

• Compromise looks foolish when the throne is in view


Daily Decision Checkpoints

• Measure plans by clear Scripture (Psalm 119:105)

• Choose integrity; the enthroned Christ sees motives (Revelation 2:23)

• Invest in what outlasts this age (1 Corinthians 15:25)

• Avoid works of darkness (Ephesians 5:11)


Reordering Priorities Under His Throne

• Time — first portion to communion and gathered worship (Hebrews 10:25)

• Money — steward as the King’s funds, give for gospel advance (2 Corinthians 9:6-8)

• Relationships — pursue forgiveness and peace (Colossians 3:13-15)

• Goals — “Seek first the kingdom” (Matthew 6:33)


Living With Confidence and Peace

• The King governs circumstances; trust replaces worry (Proverbs 3:5-6)

• Opposition loses power; He intercedes for us (Romans 8:34)

• Suffering gains purpose; we reign with Him (2 Timothy 2:12)
