Wednesday, November 4, 2020 All Authority Comes from God "Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God" (Romans 13:1 nlt). God establishes governments. And those who are in power—presidents, vice presidents, senators and congressmen, governors, mayors, or whatever their roles are—have been placed there by God, whether you voted for them or not. We're living in politically charged times, with disagreements over so many issues. Yet God has put government in place. Romans 13:1 tells us, "Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God" (nlt). When Paul wrote these words, he was living under Roman jurisdiction. Rome was running the known world for the most part, and Caesar Nero was in charge. Now, some Caesars were worse than others, but Nero was probably the worst of the lot when it came to persecuting the church. Nero hunted down Christians. He executed them. He tortured them. He fed them to animals to entertain people in the Coliseum. |
