Romans 13:1-7

13 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities 13 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, 4 for he is God’s servant for your good.

But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. 7 Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honour to whom honour is owed.

All governing authorities have been put there by God Citizens of the Kingdom of God & our Nation All governing authorities have been put there by God And God gives them the right and authority to govern God has entrusted to our rulers, immense power With our very lives, we submit to our rulers Their primary responsibility is to maintain Law and Order Do good = commended Do evil = punished Submit, But… God is a higher authority. If they order us to go against God’s commands, it is right to disobey. The Government are God’s servants – not ours. an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. A sword is used to defend, deter, detain, and execute Justice demands retribution – not rehabilitation
