This section of our study concludes with a four-point summary of Christian citizenship.
~ First, Christians are to respect everyone; Believers should be conscious of the fact that each human has been uniquely created in God’s image.
~ Second, Christians are to love the brotherhood of believers, their brothers and sisters in Christ. God’s family members should love each other.
~ Third, Christians are to fear God. The verb ―fear (phobeisthe) here does not mean to be in terror, but awe and reverence that leads to obedience. One will never truly respect people until he reverences God.
~ Fourth, believers are to honor the king. The respect or ―honor due to all is especially to be given to those God has placed in authority.
Next we will be looking at 1 Peter 2:18-25 ~ look forward to continuing our study together. God bless
