In this passage the Apostle Paul speaks to our relationship as those who are in Christ with civil authorities. How are we to understand political authority? How are we to live under authorities who often do not share our commitment to Jesus? These are questions that we seek to answer as we explore this scripture text. Though not always simple, Gods Word is clear on much when it comes to this topic. As Christians we will be helped and further equipped for faithful discipleship in whatever earthly political realm we find ourselves today.
