3 APPOINTED BY GOD 1 Timothy 1:8 9 But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless

4 APPOINTED BY GOD Daniel 4:17 In order that the living may know That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, Gives it to whomever He will, And sets over it the lowest of men.

5 APPOINTED BY GOD Daniel 4:35 All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of heaven And among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand Or say to Him, What have You done?

6 APPOINTED BY GOD Daniel 2:21 And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.

7 APPOINTED BY GOD Daniel 2:37 You, O king, are a king of kings. For the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory;

8 APPOINTED BY GOD Jeremiah 27:5 I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are on the ground, by My great power and by My outstretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed proper to Me.

9 APPOINTED BY GOD Acts 17:26 And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,

10 APPOINTED BY GOD Proverbs 21:1 The king s heart is in the hand of the Lord, Like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes.

11 APPOINTED BY GOD Titus 3:1 Remind them [believers] to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work,

12 APPOINTED BY GOD 1 Peter 2:13 17 Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord s sake, whether to the king as supreme, or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

13 APPOINTED BY GOD Proverbs 24:21 My son, fear the Lord and the king

14 APPOINTED BY GOD 1 Timothy 2:1 2 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.

15 JUSTIN MARTYR Everywhere, we, more readily than all men, endeavour to pay to those appointed by you the taxes, both ordinary and extraordinary, as we have been taught by Jesus. We worship only God, but in other things we will gladly serve you, acknowledging you as kings and rulers of men, and praying that, with your kingly power, you may be found to possess also sound judgment.

16 OBEY AUTHORITIES It was the consistent and official teaching of the Christian Church that obedience must be given to, and prayers made for, the civil power, even when the wielder of that civil power was a Nero. Barclay

17 THE EXCEPTION Exodus 1:17 But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male children alive.

18 THE EXCEPTION Daniel 3:18 But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.

19 THE EXCEPTION Daniel 6:10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.

20 THE EXCEPTION Acts 4:18-20 So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

21 THE EXCEPTION Acts 5:28-29 saying, Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this Man s blood on us! But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: We ought to obey God rather than men.

22 THE EXCEPTION Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

23 GOD S MINISTER The civil magistrate, saved or unsaved, is a servant of God in the sense that since God has instituted human government as a means of regulating the affairs of the human race, a magistrate who carries out the law, acts as a servant of God. Wuest

24 THE SWORD Genesis 9:5 6 Surely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning; from the hand of every beast I will require it, and from the hand of man. From the hand of every man s brother I will require the life of man. Whoever sheds man s blood, By man his blood shall be shed; For in the image of God He made man.

25 CONSCIENCE FUND A man wrote a letter to the tax department: "I have been unable to sleep knowing that I cheated on my taxes. I have enclosed a cashier s check for $1000. If I still can't sleep, I'll send the rest."

26 TAXES To the state ordinary people owe a wide range of services which individually they could not enjoy. It would be impossible for every man to have his own water, light, sewage, transport system. These things are obtainable only when men agree to live together. And it would be quite wrong for a man to enjoy everything the state provides and to refuse all responsibility to it. Barclay

27 TAXES Matthew 22:21 Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar s, and to God the things that are God s.

28 CITIZENS OF HEAVEN Philippians 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
