HUMAN GOVERNMENTS

1 Peter 2:13-25

All government represents God, whether of city or state or nation. It may not be wise always, nor just, nor fair. We should do our full share as citizens, when the opportunity comes, to make it the best possible. But without it, even at its worst, life would be unlivable. It stands for God’s authority, however inadequately. And we should, as his true followers, give full obedience to the Government, except when an instructed con­science forbids.
