Does the church respect Jesus as their Head (ruler), following His lead, obeying His authority?
Eph 1:21-23 (NASB) 22 And He put all things in subjection
under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, 23
which is His body, the fulness of Him who fills all in all.
Col 1:18 (NASB) He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the
beginning, the first-born from the dead; so that He Himself might come to have
first place in everything.
Col 3:17 (NASB) And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of
the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.
John 12:48 (NASB) "He who rejects Me, and does not receive My sayings, has one
who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him
at the last day.
