Those who are in authority are “God’s servant for your good. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God” (Rom 13:1) and “whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment” (Rom 13:2). Romans chapter 13 is where this young man should have done a home Bible study because it expressly states that “every person be subject to the governing authorities. They had really broken no law and weren’t on parole for it. When others would try to correct him or warn him about that being a violation of parole, he would quote (or misquote?) Acts 5:29 where “Peter and the apostles answered, ‘We must obey God rather than men.'”Yes, I agree, and especially when God’s higher, moral law supersedes man’s laws, but this is not what was going on in Acts chapter 5. When he got out, he thought he was going to skirt the law a bit and not tell his parole officer everything. One real life example was that of a young man who was just released from prison. Sometimes we can take text out of context to make it a pretext and much of the time, it’s a false one. Luke chapter 6 is also a superb example of not only how we treat one another but how we treat even those who are our enemies. First John chapter 2 tells us that we can’t say we love God but not our brothers and sisters (1 John 2:9-11). We nurture, care for, provide for, and yes, even pamper ourselves but do we treat others in this same way? The first and greatest commandment is to love God (Matt 22:37), “And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself'” (Matt 22:39). Of course we don’t have trouble loving ourselves. Our actions betray our hearts, for good or for bad, and if we treat others and even esteem others better than ourselves, then we are fulfilling the royal law to love our neighbor as ourselves (James 2:8). These chapters are sometimes called “the love chapters” and they show that the main thing we should focus on, next to Christ, is in how we treat one another. This Bible study concentrates on 1 Corinthians 13 and Romans chapter 12. We recently had a Bible study at our church that would be a superb Bible study for home.
