Introduction
Let me get the Worldly UGLY words out of the way up FRONT
Submission
subject to
Slaves
Servant
God’s Will
Obedient
take a moment to look at them
What do you feel?
What are your thoughts?
Those type of words can really get the hair up on our neck.
I want you to hear them up front.
Okay that’s done.. Lets get into the lesson
open you Bible and your Notes to.....
1 peter 2:13 “13 Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme,”
BE SUBJECT FOR THE LORD’S Sake
not to be over obvious but it says for the LORD’S Sake
not for our sake
the translation here is that God doesn’t care about your opinion if it doesn’t agree with HIS
Then he says “every human institution”
This is tough stuff
but the commandment is pretty simple
we don’t get to pick and chose
we obey the laws of the world, as long as they don’t contradict GOD’s Word
we are picker and choosers
Living as a Stranger
Submission
We do understand it, but only like it conditionally
you have all heard some of these
Not my job
i thought you said you were doing that
You have to talk to my boss
not my call
So the result is our battle is NOT submission in General
BUT submission when it is against our WILL
Study close what Peter is saying here:
1 peter 2:13-14 “13 Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, 14 or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good.”
God, HIS SON, HIS WORD is our LORD and over ALL THINGS
so we are called to obey but NOT when it is against HIS WILL - WHICH IS GOOD
this is our normal every day BATTLE
not simply choosing what is right, but WHAT IS RIGHT with GOD
We need to learn what God says is Good.
Be a Do-Gooder
1 Peter 2:15–16 (ESV)
15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people.
16 Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.
being a doer of good can be a challenge ---
but oh boy since this is God’s Word we should believe what it says
“by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people”
come on now.. you like that verse HUH
hurry up and highlight that one
we all have the struggle with foolish people — but the Lord tells us to silence them by doing good.
Doing good for others is attractive to them — it may lead them to answer that Call from Christ to become your Brother or Sister
that is the whole point of our commission to GO — make disciples
as we go we do good.
Live Free
The word live is also translated as submit in other versions of the bible
so yes.. .we
should live as people who are FREE, but the truer translation would be
we are to submit as people that are free.
We must make that choice to serve to know we are
At the same time less than and more than..
The Blood of Christ made us Free, and we are no longer subject to the futile lifestyle characteristic of the world.
1.
We don’t surrender out of weakness --- THIS IS KEY --- we are not the defeated but the Victors in Christ.
2. We are NOT to use our Freedom to indulge in evil
This is a tough one that presents itself daily ---- we often think that we can stick our toe in a pool of sin that is of interest to our selfish desire, knowing that GOD will forgive
GENUINE Freedom frees us TO DO what is GOOD
When we “stick our toe in that sin” we reveal to ourself that we are not truly free and are subjecting or submitting to the EVILNESS OF the WORLD
1 John 2:15 “15 Do not love the world or the things in the world.
If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”
1 john 2:16 “16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.”
1 john 1:6 “6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.”
one of the biggest struggle in our WORLD TODAY is the News
and the SCRIPTURE has an answer to that.....
Honor the Government, but Honor All
We are not slaves to this world
we are not of this world
We must live as Holy Chosen People in this world
We must be Example Setters
We don’t submit to the worldly authorities out of weakness but from strength - because of our Freedom.
when we react in a negative way we empower that negative news in others
When we react emotionally to the news we show other Christians that we are buying in we are allowing it to effect us
Friends our only answer to that type of thing should be to HONOR GOD
GOD must have a purpose in that
GOD must have a plan to allow that
GOD — i am yours and it is a shame what is going on in this world, but i am a citizen of Heaven
Our true citizenship is in Heaven — we are just visiting on Spaceship Earth
We are here for HIS PURPOSE
Its like the example i used last week.
I can go and visit Germany for a month
I obey there laws out of respect, and because GOOD CHRISTIANS obey the LAWS
i can obey their laws, and obey GOD’s laws for my conduct
i submit to the laws of Germany, out of the need to do good — to GLORIFY and HONOR GOD.
Believers are called upon to live under God’s Lordship, obeying the government as God’s Servants.
The next time you press that accelerator passed the speed limit
The next time you tell a white lie
the next time you defend yourself, before taking responsibility
think about this.
What you do to others, you do to GOD.
