Your Attitude Toward the Government 


Listen to the Holy Spirit, 

1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God (Rom. 13:1). 

The Roman government was corrupt. Yet, God used that government to fulfill certain purposes. Therefore, the Christians living there had to subject themselves to that government. Some of those Christians may have had to do some serious readjusting in their attitudes toward the government to be able to obey the Lord in this commandment from the pen of Paul. What about you and your government?
