Human civil and government leaders and rulers
Locations in the KJV of Bible with verses related to this subject:
Romans 13:1-7 Obeying Government Leaders
1 Corinthians 11:3-12 Divine Order for moral government designed by God: Woman submits to Man; Man submits to God.
Hebrews 13:7
7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
A different “twist” on what is always taught from pulpits!
“Remember them which have the rule over you”, WHO DO WHAT? who have spoken unto you the word of God !
AND…“whose faith follow” - meaning that they LIVE WHAT THEY SPEAK!
We are to “remember” government leaders who are GODLY!
Hebrews 13:17
17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
1-2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3-8 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
Pray and give Thanks for Government Leaders. God also wishes to see their salvation.
