CHAPTER 24 - Of The Civil Magistrate
https://t.co/vZBnyUXUMj

Paragraph 1. God, the supreme Lord and King of all the world, has ordained civil magistrates to be under him, over the people, for his own glory and the public good; and to this end has armed them with the power of the sword, for defence and encouragement of them that do good, and for the punishment of evil doers.1
1 Rom. 13:1-4

Paragraph 2. It is lawful for Christians to accept and execute the office of a magistrate when called thereunto; in the management whereof, as they ought especially to maintain justice and peace,2 according to the wholesome laws of each kingdom and commonwealth, so for that end they may lawfully now, under the New Testament, wage war upon just and necessary occasions.3
2 2 Sam. 23:3; Ps. 82:3,4
3 Luke 3:14

Paragraph 3. Civil magistrates being set up by God for the ends aforesaid; subjection, in all lawful things commanded by them, ought to be yielded by us in the Lord, not only for wrath, but for conscience’ sake;4 and we ought to make supplications and prayers for kings and all that are in authority, that under them we may live a quiet and peaceable life, in all godliness and honesty.5
4 Rom. 13:5-7; 1 Pet. 2:17
5 1 Tim. 2:1,2

We celebrate Christ Jesus.
The One born from a Virgin.
The Word made flesh.
The First born from the dead.
The Everlasting God.
Merry Christmas!

No hay verdad más preciosa para el corazón del cristiano que esta: 'el Señor Reina'. La convicción de esto debe llevarnos muy por encima de todas las preocupaciones y temores. Un Dios verdadero, un Dios vivo, un Dios reinante.
(Salmo 93)
