Honor the Governing Authorities – 1 Peter 2:14-17
It is easy to criticize our President. But Peter makes clear that we are to honor our governing authorities, even if we disagree with them.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. (2 Cor. 4:7 NIV)
Studies from Peter’s first letter
It is easy to criticize our President. But Peter makes clear that we are to honor our governing authorities, even if we disagree with them.
As believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, we are a chosen people, a royal priesthood. That is a tremendous privilege and responsibility.
Having a sincere love for others within the body of Christ is good. But go beyond that, and live a life of love that comes from the heart.
We have a living hope, the salvation of our souls. And that should impact every part of our life. Live for eternity, not just today.
