Daily Bible Reading – April 2022: God’s Renewing Word of Hopeنموونە
April 27
Introduction
The apostle Paul encourages Christians to obey state authorities, and he reminds believers of their duties toward one another and that the day of salvation is near.
Scripture Reading
Romans 13:1-14
Today’s Key Verse: Romans 13:10
If you love others, you will never do them wrong; to love, then, is to obey the whole Law.
Reflect
Reread verses 1-7. What are your thoughts concerning these verses? Paul says that God’s people should obey earthly authorities because they are God’s servants. Are there times when civil disobedience is justified? What is your understanding of Paul’s words when he says that, when we love others, we are obeying the whole Law?
Pray
Lord God, your love for me is steadfast and sure. Guide my thoughts, words, and deeds this day so that I reflect your love to others and honor you. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Romans 14:1-23: The apostle Paul admonishes believers not to judge one another.
