Unlike what is commonly mistaken in this world that freedom frees us from submission to the law, this passage in Peter echoes a different emphasis. Peter argues in this passage that due to the sole reason that we belong to God and His rule, we ought to be obedient to the governing bodies He has placed over us, even in this world that is passing away. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, shows us explicitly that living as a good citizen is the Christian thing to do!
