 "Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God." Romans 13:1 With the present-day political climate and upcoming elections, many of us may feel uncertain and discouraged concerning our government's dealings and future. So how do we move forward, much less exist day-to-day, in a less-than-perfect society? As Christians, how do we deal with the biblical truth that these authorities exist and have been established by God? How do we reconcile that a perfect God claims responsibility for Earth's very imperfect authority? Still, amid even chaotic governments, Proverbs 8:15 reassures us, "By Me kings reign and rulers issue decrees that are just." As Christians, how do we submit to God's authority while living subject to less-than-perfect earthly authorities? |
