Peter (and the other
apostles) was not being disrespectful to the religious leaders when he said
this 👇 In fact, in 1 Peter 2:13-17, he encourages us to submit to authority
and human government "for the Lord's
sake." But when their rules go against the faith, it is undoubtful
that we should obey God first and foremost rather than fear and bow to men. Be a
good citizen, even more, be a better Christian. Where are men with godly
conviction nowadays?
Martin Luther, defending himself against German princes and Roman Catholic priests, said, "My cause shall be commended to the Lord for He lives and reigns who preserved the three children* in the furnace of the Babylonian king. If He is unwilling to preserve me, my life is a small thing compared with Christ. Expect anything of me except flight or recantation. I will not flee, much less recant. So may the Lord Jesus strengthen me." He did not say "deliver me" ❌ or "make it easy for me" ❌ He said "strengthen me" ✅ And he concluded his response with the words, "Here I stand, I can do no other. So help me God" ➕ #ServeToLead #FearGodNotMen
