The Book of Romans, Part 113: God, Government, and You (cont.) (Rom. 13:1-7)

Summary

Pastor Chris McCoo teaches that government is ordained by God and Christians are called to submit to governing authorities for conscience sake, even when governments are ungodly. He emphasizes that political divisions should not cause division within the church, as believers' primary citizenship is in heaven. When government commands conflict with God's commands, Christians must obey God rather than men, yet continue to witness boldly and peacefully. Christians can influence government through evangelism, example, participation, and prayer.
