When Authorities Conflict – Daniel 6:10
Human authorities are instituted by God, and I am to submit to them. Until their authority conflicts with God. And then I will submit to God.
Encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory. (1 Thess. 2:12 NIV)
Human authorities are instituted by God, and I am to submit to them. Until their authority conflicts with God. And then I will submit to God.
As hard as it sometimes is, Peter’s words here call on us to submit to every human authority we find ourselves under. Even if they are evil.
What is the role of human government in the life of a believer? Jesus tells us to give to God what is his, and to Caesar what is his.
Paul tells us that all human governments have been established my God and we are to submit to them. Unless they violate the highest authority.
