so that you may know how you should respond to each person."

- Colossians 4:6

Government's Role

SIEGE 2, DAY 11: What does the Bible say about government's role? A few distinctives are revealed in 1 Peter 2:14 which says that authorities are in place "for the punishment of evildoers and the promotion of those who do right." Government is ordained by God to punish and restrain evildoers - to provide laws and enforcement that help to curb sinful behavior for the protection of a society's citizens. Further, government is to give place to righteousness, goodness and justice. Proverbs 11:10 says, "when it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices."
