The *command* in Romans 13 that LAWLESS nations break

Summary

The sermon emphasizes that a righteous government, as described in Romans 13, acts as a "terror to bad conduct" by being God's servant to punish wrongdoers. It draws parallels to heated speeches that, despite potentially secular origins, articulate biblically grounded principles of justice. The practical takeaway is that authorities should use their power to uphold good and deter evil, a role rooted in the concept of divine authority and love for law-abiding citizens.
