EXCELLING AS A CITIZEN Studies in 1 Peter

Submit yourselves for the Lords sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. (1 Peter 2:13-14)

BE SUBJECT TO EVERY HUMAN INSTITUTION.

Submit yourselves –Arrange yourself under the authority of government. –Christians should obey traffic regulations, sporting regulations, laws of taxation and licenses, as well as law relating to conduct between fellowman such a laws against stealing, murder, etc.

For the Lord's sake –Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. (Romans 13:1) –Wherefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience sake. (Romans 13:5)

To every human institution. –Government is ordained of God but its form is humanly devised. –In Peter's case the emperor was the infamous Nero; the governors were the men appointed by him to rule in the provinces.

For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men. (1 Peter 2:15) –"Silence" means muzzle (Used of Jesus in rebuking the sea) –Peter acknowledges that unbelievers are ignorant of God and His people, and that this ignorance comes through in their speech.

USE YOUR FREEDOM AS A SERVANT OF GOD!

Act as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bondslaves of God. (1 Peter 2:16) –If you abide in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (Jn. 8:32) –True liberty is not freedom to do as we please but to do as we ought!

LIVE WITH REGARD FOR ALL PEOPLE!

Honor all men; Love the brotherhood; Fear God; Honor the king. (1 Peter 2:17)

APPLICATIONS Christians may participate in all the authorized functions of government in keeping with God's law (both rewarding and punishing). Christians may use all the liberties granted to them by law in keeping with God's law.

Christians may not disobey government in all spheres because the government is wrong in one sphere! Christian may practice civil disobedience when God's law must be violated to obey civil law (Ac. 5:29).

What kind of citizens are we? Christians must live in such a way that even when we are misunderstood and maligned, our conduct causes the unbelieving person to see that we live with respect.
