Tell me if any of these sound familiar: “Why do I have to listen to you?” “Who are you to order me?” “This state, city, county, or country, is so corrupt why should I pay this tax or toll?” All of those sentiments pertain to submission to authority or rather, a lack of submission to authority. 1 Peter tackles this subject head on. The question we want to talk about is this: As Christians, how should we relate to the State? What if the state is Sub-Christian? Unchristian? Anti-Christian? The biblical posture for the Christian is not subversion but submission. Submission in our marriages when exploited by imperfect spouses, submission in our vocations when exploited by ungracious employers & even submission to unrighteous civil authorities. Why? Why should we submit to them? And if our general posture is submission not subversion are there ever biblically legitimate exceptions to this general rule? Those are excellent questions & God’s Word has excellent answers. Grab your Bible, a pen, & print out the free downloadable sermon outline & accompanying study guide & let's get Washed in the Word!
