Romans 13: Ultimate Authority & Submission

Ligoner Ministries·Ligoner Ministries·42:08

In this sermon from Saint Andrew's Chapel, R.C. Sproul meticulously unpacks Romans 13:1-3, challenging believers to understand their civic responsibilities through the lens of God's ultimate sovereignty. He argues that honoring the King of kings is intrinsically linked to our submission to earthly authorities, from local police to state government, reframing what might seem like mundane duties as acts of worship. Sproul provides a robust theological framework for navigating the complexities of Christian engagement with governing powers, emphasizing that all authority is divinely instituted. This teaching offers practical guidance for growing Christians seeking to live faithfully in a secular society, encouraging a deeper reflection on how everyday obedience reflects a higher allegiance.
