The Sole Authority is Christ's Will

0

None but the upright, who are indeed renewed by the sanctifying Spirit of Christ, will in all things make Christ's will their rule and in everything hold close to it, preferring it before their pleasure, profit, preferment, or any other outward allurement. They who do so give good evidence that they belong to the body of Christ, and may be sure that Christ is their Saviour.
Christ became a King to govern us, a Prophet to instruct us, a Priest to make atonement for us… He wholly set himself apart for our use and benefit.
—William Gouge "Domestic Duties."
