Sunday School Lesson
THE CHURCH AND THE CIVIL AUTHORITIES
Each child of God has obligations to the human
government under which he lives. He should abide by
the laws of his city, county, state, and nation, and be
submissive to said governmental agency unless it
should require him to disobey God or to do wrong. The
limitation of the Christian's responsibility to be sub
ject to the earthly powers begins only when such sub
jection contravenes the plain teachings of the Word of
God. Always a Christian must obey God in preference
to obeying man.
One must obey the law not simply to escape the con
sequences of wrong doing, but for the sake of his own
conscience which tells him to do right. Moreover, he
owes it to his fellowmen, over whom he has influence,
to be a law-abiding citizen. It is impossible to disobey
God without incurring His displeasure and receiving
the due reward for doing so, just as certainly as
rebellion against the government and violation of the
law cannot go unpunished.
It is incumbent upon the Christian that he pay taxes.
The payment of taxes is both an acknowledgement of
subjection to the government and the discharge of an
obligation to pay for numerous services rendered.
While we live in the heavenlies spiritually, we are not
to evade our earthly , responsibilities. Christians
should be better citizens than those who do not claim
to be followers of Christ. It is their duty to meet their
obligations to all others. For this reason, God ad
monishes them to promote that which is right and do
that which is good on every level and in every area of
life.
We do not believe that, in verse eight, Paul meant to
brand all credit-buying as unchristian, for he himseif
ran a "charge account" with Philemon. Instead of
teaching that one should never be in debt, he was say
ing, "Do not leave a debt unpaid."
In other words, "Do not be like the man who was
called 'a human dynamo' because everything he was
wearing was charged." A debtor must never defraud
his creditor.
Paul enumerated the last five of the Ten Command
ments, which have to dc with our relationship to
others. The commandment which says, "Thou shalt
not commit adultery," strikes at an evil which is grow
ing with frightful rapidity in these days. God's prohibi
tion of adultery is still applicable. The commandment,
"Thou shalt not kill," forbids the taking of the life of a
human being, whether it be for revenge or some other
evil motive. In the command, "Thou shalt not steal,"
God forbids the taking of that which rightfully belongs
to another, whether it be God or man. Because bearing
false witness in public and in private is an abomina
tion in the sight of God, we have the plain prohibition,
Covered Dish
At New Hope
"Thou shalt not bear false witness." Whereas the four
preceding commandments pertain to words and
deeds, the fifth one, "Thou shalt not covet," regulates
the thoughts, desires, and longings. Even though this
sin of covetousness may not be visible to others, it is
strictly forbidden.
These five commandments can be summarized easi
ly in the words quoted by our Lord, "Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself." This debt of love, which we
owe to all men, is a continuing matter. If we love
others as we should, we shall certainly have due
respect for both their persons and their possessions.
Any person who truly loves his neighbor will not treat
him wrongfully, but he will express his love for him in
active goodwill.
