Romans Chapter 13 and YOU

Romans 13

1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.

Our unalienable rights come from GOD, therefore let no man or group or class infringe upon them. America is unique in the history of the world because we ARE the government and we are bound by God's Natural Law.

2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.

There are those in government who do not represent you, who stand against you as the self-governing authority. While they will be subject to the judgement of God, it is our duty as arbitors of the Constitution to purge them from governance.

3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 4 For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.

Our system of self-governance (the Constitution) is good (Godly) and protects us from the evil of tyranny. Do you want to live in fear or in freedom? Stick to God's principles, which are the blueprint for our Constitution and we all benefit from it. Those who try to separate us from our God-given, unalienable rights should fear the rightful purveyors of Constitutional authority; namely, "we the people". With God on our side, who can stand against us?

5 Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing. 7 Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.

Render unto the government what is needed to function within the parameters of the Constitution. Do not allow what is rightfully yours to be taken away. What is due is anything that doesn't infringe on your God-given, unalienable rights. Honor those who keep this covenant, and reject those who do not.

8. Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.  9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Do not unto others as you would not have them do unto you. Keep God's Commandments, and expect those who represent you to keep them as well. Make no laws that infringe upon God's Commandments. Protect your individual freedom and you protect your neighbor's. Protect God's Natural Law and you'll show compassion and confidence to others.

11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

Wake up! Your God-given, unalienable, rightful place as a self-governor has been taken away from you.

12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy.

You are Commanded by God to go forth, not have others to do it for you. If anyone or anything stands against God, you are to reject it, not submit to it. Obey God's Natural Law. Respect the Constitution. Change any law that is un-Godly and un-Constitutional.

14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

No one enters Heaven but through Jesus Christ. You are saved by Grace. Honor this by rejecting any governance that does not respect God's Natural Law. You have  a God-given, unalienable right to life, liberty, and prosperity... let no man put asunder.
