Be subject for the Lords sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right. 1Pet2:13-14 RSV In :11, the Apostle had reminded the believers of their citizenship(heavenly). Yet, while they are stil on earth, they should submit to human authorities.e.g. Mat17:24-27 Brethren, do we disregard national, state, local,etc authorities, all in the name of I am a child of God? *Does the text approve submission to incidents like Acts4:18-20 & Dan3:15-18? Leaders, what kind of leaders are we? -Christlike/worldly? Mat20:25-28 -tenderhearted with sin/men and terror to men/evil? *Are we purging evil and encouraging good or the opposite? 1Pet2:14,Rom13:3-4 Beloved, has it been tough, submitting to some authorities due to their ungodly lifestyles? Lets submit for Gods sake but not compromise our Godly lifestyles. God help us all. Amen
