"Living as a Christian mean acknowledging the authority of God's word. For God is the Almighty Creator of all things, the One to who we owe our very being, who sustains us and the entire universe moment by moment. The invitation to repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ is simultaneously a call to a complete reorientation of life, a summons to bow before this might God and lay before him all we have and are, and a command to do what he says. There are no hidden corners of our lives where God's word can be disregarded.... God's authority is not that of an unconcerned dictator, and his words are not the arbitrary decrees of a distant autocrat. He cares for us, and his word is our perfect and sufficient guide though the troubles and perplexities of life."
