The Laws of the Land Romans 1. What is dual citizenship Dual citizenship means that an individual is a citizen of two countries at the same time. In America, dual citizenship is not something that can be applied for. It occurs automatically for some individuals. For example, if a child is born in the U. Driver Smartpro X5. S. to foreign parents, the child automatically has U. S. citizenship as well as citizenship of the parents home country. Similarly, the Bible calls you to dual citizenship. If you were born in the U. S. you are an American citizen, but when you were born again you became heavens citizen. You are responsible to live out both citizenships. The problem is some Christians are prone to extremes either focusing on their earthly citizenship or their heavenly citizenship. Yet, Paul argues that both citizenships are essential since you have dual citizenship. In Rom 1. 3 1 1. Paul instructs you in your obligations as an earthly and heavenly citizen. Submit To Government 1. God is glorified and His will is fulfilled when you submit to His governing authorities. In 1. 3 1a Paul writes Every person is to be in subjection to the governing. The command begins with the words, Every person pasa psuche lit. This includes believers and unbelievers, rich and poor, great and small, without exception. But Pauls primary concern is that believers submit to governing authorities. The verb submit hupotasso7 means to place oneself under. After reading this blanket command, some look for exceptions. However, here Paul provides the general rule, not the exceptions. Of course, there are at least three areas in which a Christian should resist authority 1 If he or she is asked to violate a command of God. If he or she is asked to commit an immoral or unethical act. If he or she is asked to go against hisher conscience. But when a believer resists authority heshe must be willing to accept the consequences see 1. Submission is never easy and frequently there are grave ethical dilemmas. Fortunately, in 1. Paul gives the first reason you must submit to government. He writes, For there is no authority except from. God, and those which exist are established by God. This is the first of four uses of the word authority exousia, which means delegated authority. Pauls entire argument is based upon a fundamental premise God is sovereign and He possesses ultimate authority. However, no one has authority independent of God. Underline the word no in 1. He alone delegates human authority to people. This means that every government is to be acknowledged and obeyed by virtue of its existence, not because it meets your preferences. The term that is translated established or ordained tetagmenai from tasso1. Paul means that all governments past, present, and future that exist are ordained by God, whether good or bad. Now perhaps you are asking the question, What about Hitler, Stalin, and Hussein Did God ordain these authorities1. The Scriptures teach an interesting paradox on one hand, Satan is actively involved in the political process Luke 4 6 7. The book of Daniel teaches that there are wicked spirits who are assigned to various leaders. Yet at the same time, the Bible clearly teaches that God rules in the affairs of men. In Psalm 7. 5 6 7 Asaph says For not from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert comes exaltation but God is the Judge He puts down one and exalts another. Proverbs 2. The kings heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD He turns it wherever He wishes. In other words, God is sovereign over whoever is in authority. Remember, Nero was in power when Paul wrote Rom 1. Nero hated Christians, had them rounded up, dipped in tar, and lit as torches for his parties. He covered Christians in animal skins and threw them to wild dogs. He ordered Rome set on fire and then blamed the Christians, setting off the first wave of official persecution. Weve largely forgotten how wicked pagan ancient Rome really was. Sorcery and black magic abounded, abortion flourished, homosexuality was accepted as normal, and the masses worshipped Caesar as Lord. No government in America has ever been as pagan as the government of ancient Rome. In 1. 3 2 Paul shares the first consequence if you fail to submit to government. He writes, Therefore whoever resists. God and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. Paul is saying that when you resist government you are resisting God To put it positively, submission to government is an expression of your submission to God. Therefore, whether you think a law is fair or not, you have no right to disobey simply because of your preferences. If you choose to disobey Paul states that you will receive condemnation upon yourself. Condemnation krima2. Gods judgment and governments judgment. Government penalizes people for their wrongdoings. What government fails to judge properly in this life, God will make right in the final judgment. In 1. 3 3 Paul gives a second reason why you should generally be submissive to governing authorities. He explains, For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority Do what is good and you will have praise from the same. Rulers uphold the law. Hence, if you are honoring the law, you have nothing to fear under a good government. But when you do evil, you have much to fear. Have you ever experienced the surge of fear that shoots through you when you speed through a speed trap and then look down at your speedometerIts a frightening thing. I know from first foot experience Now if you never speed, you have nothing to worry about, right Right But if you drive I 5 like the German autobahn, be worried. The consequences of judgment or praise are true of every scale of crime. Choose your consequences. Its up to you. Paul gives a second, surprising consequence if you fail to submit to government. He writes in 1. 3 4 for it rulers is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid for it does not bear the sword for nothing for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. Two times in 1. Paul calls rulers a minister diakonos, which is also the word for deacon. So you are to look upon governing authorities as part of Gods ministerial staff. They are a part of the team He assembles to work in the world today. The task of this minister is to serve God by dealing appropriately with those who do good and also with those who do evil. In case there is any doubt in your mind, Paul puts the word God theou in the emphatic slot in both phrases of 1. Governing authorities are Gods ministers, so you are commanded to submit to them. You have dual citizenship. In 1. 3 4 Paul also alludes to the sword that government bears. Notice he doesnt refer to the whip or the jail sentencehe says the sword. In New Testament times the sword was an instrument of capital punishment to behead criminals. Roman officials had sabers carried in front of them as a constant reminder that they held the power of life and death. Now, it may be true that Pauls words carry a much broader meaning, but its also true that capital punishment is certainly included in this concept. He seems to be saying that the state or the government, not the individual, has the authority to take another persons life. Hence, there is no conflict here between Pauls words in 1. Rom 1. 2 is personal Rom 1.
