With submission.\n\nAs Christians, we are called to submit ourselves, for the Lord’s sake, to every human authority, for there is no authority except that which God has established.\n\nEvery authoritative power that has–and will–come to pass was established by God Himself. And though Christians are set apart from the world, as citizens of the kingdom of heaven, we still have a duty to be subject to the governing institutions here on earth.\n\nOut of reverence for Christ, we submit not only to the world’s ruling authorities but also to one another in all ways, except when the law of man counteracts the law of God.\n\nEven Jesus was willing to submit himself to the very people he had authority over, suffering to the point of death on the cross for our salvation’s sake. Would you do the same?"}
