Summary

Unless they go against God’s law, the authorities that have been placed over you should be obeyed and respected. The law is established to protect and benefit us, and it is our duty to follow it. Find out what that looks like and why our natural inclination is to rebel against leadership in today’s episode of the Jack Hibbs Podcast.

(00:00) God-given authority, law, and the purpose of restraint
(05:45) Rulers, good works, and why law restrains evil
(12:14) Moral law written on the heart (Romans 1)
(17:15) “Render to Caesar”: allegiance, identity, and who bears God’s image
