Titus 3:1 Follow Jesus or the world?

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good!
TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

TITUS 3:1 "Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work,"KJV

Life Application "Remind the believers to submit to the government and its officers. They should be obedient, always ready to do what is good."

As Christians, our first allegiance is to Jesus as LORD, but we must obey our government and its leaders as well. Christians are not above the law. Obeying the civil law is only the beginning of our Christian responsibility; we must do what we can to be good citizens.

Acts 5?29 tells us the apostles knew their priorities. While we should try to live at peace with everyone, conflict with the world and its authorities is sometimes inevitable for a Christian.

John 15:18 Jesus tells us if the world hates you, remember, it hated Him (Jesus) first.

There will be situations where you cannot obey both God and people. So what do we do? We must obey God and trust His Word.

Jesus' words in Luke 6:22 are encouraging. "What blessings await you when people hate you and exclude you and mock you and curse you as evil because you follow the Son of Man."

TALK THE TALK AND WALK THE WALK MY FRIEND. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
