Romans 13

Send us a text

Ken and Steve explore Romans 13, examining how Christians should navigate the tension between biblical submission to authorities and faithfulness to God's higher commands. They unpack Paul's teaching about government, debt, love, and spiritual armor through both historical context and personal application.

• Understanding when to submit to authorities and when to prioritize God's commands
• Exploring biblical examples like Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego who disobeyed rulers
• Distinguishing between personal disobedience and organized rebellion against authorities
• Examining what it means to "let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love"
• Connecting the "armor of light" with Paul's teaching on the armor of God in Ephesians
• Discussing the contrast between behaviors done in darkness versus living in the light
• Recognizing our need to clothe ourselves with Christ rather than gratify fleshly desires
