Romans 13:1-7 The Source, Purpose, and Powers of Civil Government - 6/7/26

Romans 13 has been preached for the last number of years to encourage Christians to unconditionally submit to civil authority.  However, this is not the case.  This scripture describes three things regarding civil government.  First, it describes the source of civil authoirty. Second, it describes the purpose of civil authority and thirdly it describes the powers of civil authority.  If we read it in this context we can see how the United States Government was founded (mostly) in this biblical context.
