Paul and Moses's Law with Joshua Greever
Theology for the Church
Recognizing God's Common Grace in Civil Government
The interpretation of Romans 13 suggests that Paul believed civil government was instituted by God for good, despite the shortcomings of leaders. The passage highlights the reality verbs used by Paul to emphasize the recognition of God's common grace in civil governance.

The focus is not on the specific laws or commandments but on acknowledging the broader concept of God's influence on civil government.
