Our founders believed…
- We are created in God’s image
- We are inherently sinful
- God is the source of morality
- Religious liberty is a God-given right
As Dual Citizens…
1. Our Conduct is to be Submission through Faith v.13-14
How far do we submit? We submit up until submission means directly and knowingly disobeying God.
2. Our Criticism is to be Silenced through Faithfulness v.15
3. Our Christianity is to be Service through Freedom v.16
4. Our Citizenship is to be Seen through Fear, Love, and Honor v.17
1 Peter 2:9 (ESV)
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.”
