All power and authority belongs to God. He has delegated all power and authority to the Mediator, the God-man Christ. All power and authority in his creatures is delegated to them from God. They are to use this power to His glory, regulated by his law.

"Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. " Mk 9:24
"The greatest thing we can desire, next to the glory of God, is our own salvation; and the sweetest thing we can desire is the assurance of our salvation. In this life we cannot get higher than to be assured of that which in the next life is to be enjoyed. All saints shall enjoy a heaven when they leave this earth; some saints enjoy a heaven while they are here on earth." Joseph Caryl
