I should obey my government?
At this point in time the major persecutions of Christians had not yet begun.
Do you think that changes what Paul would have said or is this statement from the Bible always true? What modifies this statement from Paul?
I think Paul is saying whenever not in direct opposition to God you must stay within the law.
Helpfully we get a clue as to the purpose of government and I think we should keep these things in mind as we elect those to serve in government.
Do they align with these values?
It’s for this reason we have to support the government no matter how much we like it or don’t, or how much that government fails at these goals or not.
We might not like our rulers but we should respect them, even if they have gone off the deep end… How do we respect them?
I don’t think it’s through silent acquiescence to their policy.
I think it’s through our prayer life.
How much have we talked about this idea as a church?
what it means for us that this is what the church does?
How are we loving our neighbors?
Christians should be woke!
we had the word first let’s steal it back… okay maybe that opportunity is lost at this point but we need to be born again, to be alive not dead.
The metaphor used throughout about those who died is that they’ve fallen asleep.
Should those who have been redeemed and called to new life be dead?
me genoito!
I’m gonna just throw my own in since we don’t have anymore in the book.
Heavens NO we should be awake, alive and loving people.
Why? What motivates us?
That Christ has saved us and every moment that goes by is closer to the time of his return to earth or our homecoming to him.
So go and make disciples, love neighbors, submit to authorities.
Now our armor gets described as light, how cool.
Our protection is blinding to the enemy.
Hopefully it is… have you kept it shiny, are you letting your faith rust, the truth of the gospel get warn down, the belt get loose, the righteousness get dented up?
Don’t be participants in darkness… It’s daylight out, act like it!
