LESSON 2: AUTHORITY and SUBMISSION

 BOOK REVIEW 

Book Title: AUTHORITY and SUBMISSION 

Author: WATCHMAN NEE

Pages: 202

LESSON 2:

1. Only those who submit to authority can themselves be authorities. God entrusted all creation to Adam's authority and at thesame, God put Adam under His own authority so that Adam would learn to submit to authority.

2. Man's fall came from not submitting to authority. Adam disobeyed God's direct command, hence disregarding God's authority which culminated into rebellion.

3. Faith is the principle by which we receive life, while submission is the principle by which we conduct our living. 

4. In order to restore authority, submission must be restored first. Many are accustomed to acting as the head while they have never known submission.

5. If a man has never met God's authority, how can he submit to God?  There must be a spirit of submission, and a training in submission.

"The Church suffers because many do not submit. On the other hand, the Church suffers because many do not know how to be the authority by standing in the proper position"
