AMBASSADORS
Romans 13:1
Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
Personal Challenge
Paul calls us ambassadors. In his mind, we who claim Jesus as our Lord and Savior are no longer citizens of this earth, but citizens of heaven. As such, the earthly governing powers that we are under, are of this World and we are subject to them as ambassadors that represent the kingdom of heaven. This means that we respect these leaders, leaders that God has put into authority, and obey the laws of the land, Only when they choose to defy God and expect us to be disobedient to God, then we can defy our rulers. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
