The Divine Appointments

It is the commandment of God and the Lord Jesus Christ that made apostolic teaching the basis of all the duties in the Christian life, and in the life of the local church. This, by the way, is how Christ rules and governs His Church. This is how His righteous rule is established over His people. We find here in these words, that the authority of God and the Lordship of Christ are established by submission to his appointments. We find 3 appointments in the first 2 verses.
