The Sweetness of Biblical Authority

The Sweetness of Biblical Authority

A helpful article on the place of the scriptures in the heart of the believer.

The facts of our lives then present a desperate quandary. We must be honest. We have resisted. We are foolish. We are guilty of violating the Law of God, and delighting in our own law, meditating in the alluring instruction of the world. We have rebelled and we do rebel. We have walked in the counsel of the wicked. We have stood stubbornly in the path of sinners. We have tuned our hearts to the scoffers and planted our roots in derision of the Almighty. Yet speaking directly into those damning realties of our hearts and lives, God’s Word meets us with the gracious, covenant Lord. He promised to redeem us, and has delivered on his promise. Our foolishness and rebellion are met by the fully satisfying life, death, and resurrection of the One Blessed Man, who without fail, delighted in the Law of his Father, and meditated on his Law day and night.
