START YOUR DAY RIGHT DEVOTION
(KJV) Hebrews 13:17
Obey them that have the rule over you and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
OBEY THEM / HEBREWS 13:17
Obedience and faithfulness to Christian leaders, pastors and teachers must be based on a higher loyalty to God. The Christians’ loyalty on a descending scale is as follows:
- First, to God in a person-to-person relationship (Matthew 22:37), including faithfulness to the truth and principles of His Word.
- Second, to the local church body (congregation, community of true believers) as it remains faithful to God and His written Word (John 15:12; Galatians 6:10).
Third, the godly leaders within the church, as long as they remain faithful and loyal to God, to His Word and to His mission for the church.
