27. Submission to Authority (Romans 13:1-7) - a podcast by The Epic Life - Bob Hallman

In Romans 1-11, Paul revealed to us the glorious mercies of God expressed to us in a 
reconciled relationship with the Father through faith in the finished sacrifice of Jesus 
Christ on the cross. Then in chapter 12-15, Paul indicates that God’s mercies should 
produce tangible, measurable, and obvious changes in the way that we live our lives. 
1. In our relationship with God: Romans 12:1-2
We are to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing in His sight. 
2. In our relationship with other believers: Romans 12:3-16
We are to be rightly related with our brothers and sisters in Christ and to use 
our God-given gifts to build others up. 
3. In our relationship with unbelievers: Rom 12:17-21
We are to live in a loving and respectful manner even with our enemies.
Now in Romans 13:1-7, Paul declares that the fruit of God’s mercy should also impact the way that we respond to authority in our lives.
