Being a new creation, having a renewed mind, and living a life of sacrifice to God changes the way in which we ought to view, speak of, and interact with our governing authorities.

• The Commands (v1, 6-7)
  • Christians are to be subject to their authorities
  • Christians are to pay their taxes
  • Christians are to give to others what is owed
• The Resaons (v1-5)
  • Resisting authorities is ultimately resisting God
  • There are consequences for rebellion
  • Authorities are placed there for our good
  • For the sake of your own conscience
