Romans: The Power & Glory of the Gospel (Part 26)Romans 13:1-7// Christians need to see ourselves in tension between Romans 13 and Revelation 13. We are to practice godly submission alongside appropriate suspicion toward the kingdoms of men. We are to honor the authority of our governing officials. Still, we must be mindful that the government's authority is not the ultimate authority. We can seek to have a rightly ordered love for our nation in the form of a godly patriotism. But we are to be ever cautious of idolatrous nationalism that would seek to steal our heart's ultimate allegiance, highest love, and worship from Christ. While we live in one nation here and now, our truest citizenship is in heaven, and our highest hope is in a kingdom that cannot be shaken!
Our mission is to declare the gospel of Jesus Christ with our words and display the gospel of Jesus Christ with our lives to our neighbors and to the nations.
