OBEY THEM / HEBREWS 13:17

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.

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.
