Bible Gateway The Sword and the KeysRomans 13:3–7 Chapter 23 of the Westminster Confession of Faith is an excellent summary of the biblical teaching on the relationship between the church and the state. According to the confession, Christians may lawfully engage the government and serve in its various offices. Yet we must do such things with wisdom lest we come to expect the state to manifest God's kingdom. The sword cannot call lost sinners to God, only the Gospel can. For further study: 1 Samuel 13:8–15a The Bible in a year: Ecclesiastes 5–6 | | | | | |
