Heb 13:17

Obey your leaders and submit to them,
for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account.
Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you.

We are to obey our leaders…
We are to submit to them…
This is speaking within the Body of Christ.

How do I know?

Because, they keep watch over your souls.
They will give an account.

Of course, this begs the question of “who are the leaders?”
This is another subject for another time, but for today, suffice it to say that the Lord raises up leadership. Leadership in all areas. All believers lead in some form.

Sadly, much of the “leadership” structure in the “organized” church is not biblical.

And we wonder why we have the problems we have?

Another instruction.

Let the leaders lead with joy and not with grief.

The opposite seems to be the norm.

So many hassle and harass leadership.
Of course, many who do so are not saved, just church members.

It is not profitable for us to walk in any other way.

Obey.
Submit.

Remember…

Rom 12:10
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor;

Walk in humility before OneAnother…

1 Pe 5:5
You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you,
clothe yourselves with humility toward one another,
for GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.
