The Law of the King, Part One by Dr. Frederick K. Price delves into the concept of divine authority and human responsibility. Let’s break down some key points from this teaching:
 
  1. God’s Control and Human Free Will:
    • Many Christians assert that “God is in control” regardless of circumstances. However, Price challenges this notion. He emphasizes that God respects human free will and doesn’t override it. If we don’t willingly submit our will to God, He doesn’t forcibly take control; instead, we remain responsible for our choices.
    • In other words, God’s sovereignty doesn’t negate our responsibility. We have the power to choose, and our decisions matter.
  2. Our Authority in Christ:
    • Price highlights that believers have authority in Christ Jesus. This authority extends beyond mere acceptance of salvation; it empowers us to act as representatives of God on Earth.
    • Our Heavenly Father intended for us to govern the earth on His behalf. We are called to bring His will into reality, combating evil and promoting goodness.
  3. The Origin of Sin:
    • Price asserts that sin didn’t exist among humans until the first act of disobedience (when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit). Before that, there was no knowledge of good and evil.
    • This perspective challenges the traditional view that humans were inherently sinful from the beginning. Instead, Price suggests that sin entered the world through a specific choice.
  4. God’s Goodness and Earthly Suffering:
    • Price questions why we accept sickness, evil, and suffering on earth when heaven lacks these afflictions. He encourages believers to exercise their authority to combat these negative forces.
    • While God is good, our world experiences brokenness due to sin. Our role is to bring healing and restoration through our faith and actions.
In summary, The Law of the King, Part One emphasizes our responsibility, authority, and the need to align our will with God’s. It challenges us to actively participate in God’s plan for redemption and restoration on Earth.
