If we are honest, there are Bible passages we do not apply in every situation. This text may be one of those passages! Submit to every human institution, every ordinance? Dr. Martin Luther King’s civil disobedience protests, Christian resistance to the policies and personalities of U.S. presidents, and COVID masking and vaccine mandates are just a few times when submission did not occur. There may be valid reasons for doing so, but one thing is certain: it is God’s will for believers to do good in all situations, regardless of personal feelings or the outcome. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you, not your emotions, and follow Christ’s footsteps.
