Rom. 13:1-7 – People often take a critical view of the State’s power and blame it for their troubles. The State can even be a source of persecution for the Christian Church. Scripture however, does not encourage Christians to harbor a negative approach to the authorities. The Bible teaches that the authorities that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore, we have to learn to see the government activities as a means by which God cares for us. In the long run, even persecution is useful for the Church. The Bible teaches that we should be subject to the authorities and only disobey if our following the State’s demands would lead to violating God’s Word.
