I Peter 2:13-23
Excerpted from: Self-Government and Responsibility (Part One)There was His faith; God would vindicate Him. If we go back to verse 13, Peter says, "every ordinance." God does not give us the right to pick and choose which one we are going to submit to and which one we are not. "Oh, I like the traffic laws, but I don't like the IRS." Or "I like the laws regarding littering, but I don't like the laws regarding traffic." We are supposed to submit (hupotasso), make ourselves subject to, control ourselves, control that human nature, and govern ourselves so that it does not go beyond the parameters of what God has said in His Word.
