  8. The Hard Labor of Love Romans 12:9-21

  9. Key Principles • True love is characterized by sincerity, action, and dependence on God • True love is evident even when someone hates you and persecutes you. • We can’t control the actions and reactions of others, but we can control our own. • We must think Biblically, renewing our minds with the Word of God

  10. Counteract our human instincts to put ourselves first • Look for your neighbor’s good even the good of your enemy! • Leave all vengeance to God • We are called to repay good for evil, not in order to cause our enemy torment, but to bring him to repentance and restoration.

  11. Be loyally subject to the governing (civil) authorities • submission means to voluntarily follow the direction of those in authority over you.  • Regardless of the failures of government—many of which are immoral, unjust & ungodly—Christians are to pray (1 Tim 2and live peaceful lives that influence the world by godly, selfless living, not by protests, sit ins, and marches, much less by rebellion.

  12. TheAuthoritybehind the authorities is God • Pilate • Nebuchadnezzar • Cyrus • God instituted the system of human government immediately after the great flood

  13. El Elyon • The sovereign Most High God over ALL the earth. • Too often we do not realize that God is waiting to govern the earth properly -- He is waiting, He is withholding, He is restraining evil, He is governing to a limited extent, -- but right now He is showing how weak man is without Him. • We've not seen the end of "His"story ("HISTORY") yet!. Every government that exists is held in the palm of God's hand. It can only go as far as God wills; it is under His control; it has been instituted by Him.
