<p>The Unchanging Word Bible study welcomes you to this lesson in <a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/rom/12/19/s_1058001" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Romans 12:19 </strong></a>through 13:4. We will be listening to what the Apostle Paul wrote to the Gentiles believers in Rome concerning taking one&#39;s own revenge and submission to the governing authorities. </p> <p>During the days of the Apostle Paul, the emperor Nero was on the throne in Rome. Although he is not mentioned by name in Scripture, there is a reference to him as caesar in Acts 17 and Acts 25. And an angel of God, appearing to the Apostle Paul in <a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/act/27/24/s_1045001" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Acts 27:24</strong></a> told Paul that he must stand before Caesar but not to be afraid. </p> <p>Our lesson looks at both the responsibility of the Christian in society, to not take their own revenge but leave it to God and the responsibility of the governing authorities to the citizens of that society in the world, to provide protection from evil and commendation for what is good.</p> <p>Turn with us in your Bible to<a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/rom/12/19/s_1058001" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong> Romans 12:19</strong></a> to begin with Dr. Mitchell.</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unchanging-word/message
