WHY THIS DIVISION?

If we accept Jesus as God, a figure of ultimate authority, to what degree if any does he express that authority through the Bible?

A major purpose of the Bible is to enable us to please God. The means of pleasing God is to know God. And knowing God is chiefly evidenced by believing what he promises and doing what he asks.

That is living under his authority. That is believing in him.
