Believable Public Testimony!

1 Peter 2: 13

Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority instituted among men…….

These two words…. “submit yourselves”, come from the Greek word…. “hupotasso”, which literally has a military root meaning.

The best translation appears to be…… “Put yourselves in an attitude of submission”.

At least that’s the best translation I’ve been able to find.

I wonder why that seems to be such an issue, especially in the church?

Did you know that God’s chosen people, are to live in a humble and submissive way?

For whose sake are we supposed to submit? The Lords.

Jesus even submitted to the Roman empire, just before His execution.

I’m pretty sure we’re supposed to act, just like Jesus acted.

Frankly, I think it’s pretty sad, to see Christians of all people, practice public disobedience and lack of submission, especially in the church.

It happens more often, than not.

So for the Lord’s sake, we submit to Him, to obey Him.

For the Lord’s sake, we seek to imitate Him, just so we can honor Him.

We’re supposed to live our lives in such a way, that our public testimony, can actually be believable.

Is your public testimony, believable?
