Authority v/s Pride

Let me start by saying that the Bible is the number one authority that we as Christians live by. I was talking with my grandpa today and was just joking with him, I asked him did he believe that the Bible have any authority. He kinda mumbled for a minute and then I told him I said you know an officer has authority because of his/her uniform just like the Bible has authority because of its editor (God). Then came a few amazing minutes of conversation together. He stated that we have got so many crazy laws and its just hard for them to be any authority to anyone. Then I stopped him (and now you must know my grandfather to appreciate this) I said you know it's not the laws that you dont agree with it's the authority of the officers you dont believe in. Then I went on to say most people believe in the Bible but they really struggle with it's authority. And for that matter it goes deeper than that it really boils down to this " most people dont truly believe in God or to put it another way the dont believe God because even the devil believes in God" So with all that said I began to look at a few things and soon started to see that mostly it was our pride that hinders use from recognizing the Bible or any other thing as an authority or having authority so examine yourselves daily by the word to show yourselves approved and remember the Bible is the number one authority that we as Christians live by.
