Paul begins Romans Chapter 13 by addressing the issue of submitting yourselves to government rulers. He said that believers in Christ should follow the rules set forth by their government while remembering that God is the true authority and, as such, has established these governing bodies. Paul also said that followers of Christ should pay their taxes. Since the people in authority are serving God, the taxes that you pay are actually paying God. According to Paul in Romans Chapter 13, the only debt you should have is a debt of love to your fellow brothers and sisters. If you love one another, he said, you are fulfilling the law. Paul concludes Romans 13 by discussing the day of God’s judgment and that nobody should be stubborn about changing their ways and doing what is right because judgment day is close at hand.
