Romans: Government

While God calls us to live out His kingdom values in the midst of the world, we must also recognize that God has not abandoned this world. He continues to work in it by His common grace. To turn our backs on everything associated with this world might be turn our backs on some things that God intents to use for our good. Paul is going to teach us that government is one means that God is using to right wrongs and punish evil. Christians need to recognize government as one part of this world that we should uphold.
