Romans 13:1-7

Honoring earthly authorities is an opportunity to honor the God of all authority.

  1. The divine institution of authority. (1a) (What?)

  2. The divine purpose of government (1b-4) (Why?)

  3. The divine responsibility for Christians. (5-7) (How?)

 
 

Reflection Questions

  • Where have you been challenged in the call to submit to governing authorities as an application of submitting to God’s authority?

  • How does the submission of Christ, all the way to death, empower you to live peaceably, as depends on you?

  • What specific changes might God be calling you to, in light of this word?
