This issue of the FGB presents the theme of Authority. David Martyn Lloyd-Jones announces our worldâs desperate need of it. Stephen Charnock mines the Scriptures to display Godâs absolute authority, and Jeff Pollard declares that Godâs authority is revealed in the infallible, Spirit-breathed Word. In his second article, Dr. Lloyd-Jones takes up the subject of Christâs authority manifested in His glorious Lordship. Benjamin Warfield describes how Jesus appointed His apostles, who lived and ministered with Him, to write the Gospels and the other New Testament writings. The Lord wanted His gospel call to salvation to spread throughout the world. Jean-Marc Berthoud teaches us about the importance of Christâs authority in local churches. Now, do pastors, elders, and undershepherds have real authority in Christâs churches? Arthur Pink clearly affirms and explains the necessity of such authority. In accord with this, elders have the responsibility of preaching Godâs authoritative Word to Christâs blood-bought people, ever setting the beauty and glory of His crucifixion and resurrection before them. Fathers too have authority, and Richard Baxter shows them how to use it to the glory of God and the good of their families. What about civil government? James Renihan shows us from Scripture and the 1689 Confession that magistrates are Godâs authorized servants. Finally, C. H. Spurgeon blesses us with a moving declaration of Christâs authority to save sinners!
