In our day, we’re told that you need to “live your truth.” You need to be the authority in your life. And this isn’t a new thing: ever since Satan’s original temptation in the garden, man has been tempted to look to some authority other than God. But as Matthew 5:17–20 tells us, true life is found in submission to the loving authority of Jesus and his Word, and in leading others to Jesus. In this message, David Platt points us to the authority of Scripture and its witness to Jesus Christ. We will only find eternal life by turning from our own illusions of autonomy and submitting to the One who gave his life for sinners.
