Summary

Romans 13:1-7 - Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, 4 for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. 7 Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.

0:08.4	align with the truth of God yeah I want to make you aware of a new resource that I'm creating on a weekly basis and it's absolutely
0:15.8	free to you.
0:17.2	It's on my YouTube channel and I'm calling them scripture sketches.
0:22.1	It's something you really have to see to understand what it is, but it's putting the
0:25.9	scripture on the screen and using a pen to annotate and make markings and drawings and things

0:33.9	description for this episode of the podcast or go to carry green.com

0:45.4	Wow, we're hitting a new chapter.
0:46.8	Romans 13 verse number one.
0:48.8	And today, the passage we're looking at is one of the most relevant for the circumstances
0:55.2	that we face in our world that I could even imagine. I mean especially if we live in the
0:59.2	United States because we've just gone through an election season, the time when there was much division and
1:05.2	dissension and divisiveness over political candidates, and there was even a little bit of
1:11.4	rebellion against the government believing there was an
1:13.6	injustice that was done and all kinds of things rioting looting I mean you name it we have
1:18.9	been through some craziness in the last six months for various reasons.
1:23.4	And I know Christians often wonder
