God as the Head of Man
God created the heavens, formed the earth, made it and established it. Therefore, it's understood that God didn't create the world to be a waste or a place of chaos, rather a place of order and purpose. And as the creator, God has the first word and the last. His Word is His will. God means what He says and He says what He means. God also gives and takes away authority on earth.
