Absolute standard of Authority vs. 17
Found in the Word
Fulfilled in Jesus
Absolute Acceptance of that Authority vs. 18
Accepted by Jesus
Actualized in Eternity
Absolute Affirmation of that Authority vs. 19
Can be Rejected
Can be Accepted
Absolute Obedience to our Authority Vs. 20
Greater than Religion
Greeted in Heaven
