Time Well Spent Bible study with Cornelius F. Warren

Join Pastor Warren as he teaches through the book of 1 Peter. We are in chapter 2. 

In verses 11-12. Peter has just stated the general principle that Christians are to live holy lives as aliens and strangers on this earth. We are not permanent residents here, but are pilgrims journeying toward heaven. It would have been easy for his readers to conclude that we therefore have no civic responsibility here on earth. Perhaps they would have concluded that they could disregard and disobey human government, since they were citizens of heaven, not of this earth. So, in verses 13-17, Peter anticipates and counters this wrong conclusion by showing how Christian citizens must live:

Christians must live as good citizens by submitting to human government.
