The Bible is filled with commands, and many of them have meaning for how Christians should act as citizens in their countries. Even under a hostile government, we’re supposed to obey the laws, pay our taxes, pay our respects, and pay our debts. There’s one obligation, however, that never gets paid off – the obligation to love.

Made for More
