Every person is to be in subjection to the governing
authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist
are established by God. Therefore whoever resists
authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will
receive condemnation upon themselves.
– Romans 13:1-2
– Romans 13:1-2
This seems to be one of the easiest chapters in the Bible to
discard. Every time I decide to exceed the speed limit I am ignoring it. If I were
to enter a closed park, cheat on taxes, or spitefully badmouthed law
enforcement, I am not subjecting myself to the governing authorities. I am
opposing the ordinance of God. How about you? Confess any violations. Commit to
obedience.
