Titus 3:1 NKJV

Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work,

Titus 3:1 NKJV

Paul writes to call believers to respect authority and obey the law that helps people to live in peace and be ready for every good work.

As believers, we are not to be found rebellious towards authority, but rather to be good citizens, finding ways to serve the community and bring in the influence of the kingdom of God.

When believers take their place to serve in their society, they have the opportunity to influence the system that shapes the laws of the country.

We do need to stand up for our rights and do it in accordance with the law and never move away from our faith in Christ.

We need to encourage believers to stand for the truth in a godly manner and display the character of Christ in every way we approach things.

Putting our ultimate trust in the power and grace our Lord has given to us and not to lean on our own understanding.

For many have tried to stand for good in an evil way which does not glorify God and creates an unpleasant environment for our future generations.

We as a church need to stand united in holding our faith in Christ and to live life as citizens of heaven.

Therefore let us respect all those who are in authority and pray for all those who are in leadership that the kingdom of God will be established in our nations.

Live in the blessings

Ps Ambrose
