The term is used to describe God's sovereign authority over creation, the delegated authority given to humans, and the principles by which believers are to conduct their lives.<br><br><b>Divine Rule</b><br><br>God's rule is a central theme throughout Scripture, emphasizing His ultimate authority and sovereignty over all creation. In <a href="/genesis/1-26.htm">Genesis 1:26</a>, God declares, "Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it." This passage highlights God's intention for humanity to exercise dominion as stewards of His creation, reflecting His sovereign rule.<br><br>The Psalms frequently celebrate God's rule. <a href="/psalms/103-19.htm">Psalm 103:19</a> states, "The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all." This verse underscores the comprehensive nature of God's authority, extending over the heavens and the earth.<br><br><b>Human Rule</b><br><br>Human rule, as ordained by God, is meant to reflect His justice and righteousness. In the Old Testament, rulers such as kings and judges were appointed to govern the people according to God's laws. <a href="/deuteronomy/17-18.htm">Deuteronomy 17:18-20</a> instructs the king to write for himself a copy of the law and read it all his life, "so that he may learn to fear the LORD his God by carefully observing all the words of this law and these statutes."<br><br>The New Testament also addresses human authority, urging believers to respect and submit to governing authorities. <a href="/romans/13.htm">Romans 13:1-2</a> states, "Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God. Consequently, whoever resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves."<br><br><b>Rule in the Church</b><br><br>Within the church, rule is exercised through spiritual leadership and guidance. Elders and overseers are tasked with shepherding the flock, as seen in <a href="/1_peter/5-2.htm">1 Peter 5:2-3</a>: "Be shepherds of God&#8217;s flock that is among you, watching over them&#8212;not out of compulsion, but because it is God&#8217;s will; not out of greed, but out of eagerness; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock."<br><br>The Apostle Paul also emphasizes the importance of order and discipline within the church. In <a href="/1_timothy/3-4.htm">1 Timothy 3:4-5</a>, he describes the qualifications for overseers, stating that they must manage their own households well, "for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how can he care for God&#8217;s church?"<br><br><b>Personal Rule</b><br><br>Believers are called to exercise self-rule, or self-control, as a fruit of the Spirit (<a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22-23</a>). This personal governance is essential for living a life that honors God and aligns with His will. <a href="/proverbs/25-28.htm">Proverbs 25:28</a> warns, "Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control," illustrating the vulnerability that comes from a lack of personal discipline.<br><br>In summary, the biblical concept of rule encompasses divine sovereignty, human governance, church leadership, and personal discipline. Each aspect reflects God's order and purpose, calling believers to live under His authority and according to His principles.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
