Romans 13

Submission to Governing Authorities

I believe that I am to submit and have peace with the set authority as long as it doesn't compromise my religious beliefs. This is difficult for anyone especially with those in demanding environments, it's easy to respect and honour them in my actions but i'm thinking of all the vulgar language I wish I could say to their face. Jesus says however that I'm to love my adversaries, and pray for them. I don't always particularly safe or relaxed around Jayne. However I've seen fruit grow from her so I guess I have confidence that when this chapter states that those in authority where established by God, Jayne was established by God to be my leader! Idk how long long i'll be in this group but I hope that when I depart it will be on good terms, on Godly terms.

I think when this chapter says "clothe yourselves in Christ", I think the implication is the armour of God? or maybe to put ones identity in Christ above oneself????
