When Do We Not Submit to Governmental Authorities

January 21, 2024 • Romans 13:1–7

In Romans 13, Paul gives us three factors that determine our obedience or disobedience to governmental authorities. We are to submit to governmental authorities when:

1-Authorities are not a terror for those doing good works, but to those doing evil works. (13:1)

2-Authorities are for the good of the people they govern. (13:3-4)

3-Authorities are the avenger to execute God’s wrath upon those who do evil. (13:4)
