  2. Romans 13:1 “Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities . . .”

  3. I. We are to submit to every authority (13-15) • Every authority is instituted by God. • Authorities depend upon God for their existence. • Disobeying authority is disobedience against God.

  4. Romans 13:2 “Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.”

  5. I. We are to submit to every authority (13-15) • Authorities serve two purposes. • Punish those who do wrong. • Commend those who do right. • Submitting to authority is God’s will. • The basis is the very God of the universe. • Even in objection, God’s will is to be submissive.

  6. Acts 4:19 “But Peter and John replied, ‘Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to obey you rather than God.’”

  7. Acts 5:29 “Peter and the other apostles replied: ‘We must obey God rather than men!”

  8. I. We are to submit to every authority (13-15) • Submitting to authority contributes to the favor of society. • Others will observe the effects the Gospel has made on our lives. • It counters the false charges they may make against us.

  9. II. We are to live with freedom in the proper perspective (16). • Our freedom must never be a cover-up for evil. • Freedom does not authorize rebellion against authority.

  11. II. We are to live with freedom in the proper perspective (16). • Our freedom must never be a cover-up for evil. • Freedom does not authorize rebellion against authority. • We cannot use freedom to excuse or justify sinful behavior.

  12. II. We are to live with freedom in the proper perspective (16). • We should live as servants of God. • Genuine freedom is freedom to serve God.

  13. Romans 6:22 “But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.”

  14. II. We are to live with freedom in the proper perspective (16). • We should live as servants of God. • Genuine freedom is freedom to serve God. • We become bondservants of God.

  15. We are to show proper respect (17). • We are to respect everyone. • Every human being is made in the image of God.

  16. Galatians 5:13b-14 “. . .rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”

  17. We are to show proper respect (17). • We are to respect everyone. • Every human being is made in the image of God. • We should view others as Christ sees them.

  22. 1 Timothy 2:1-2 “I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.”
