Christian Civics: Argument by Honor

1 Peter 2:13-17

By Jeremy Krenzin, January 18, 2026

Christians' honorable civic behavior should silence their critics.

Four aspects of honorable Christian civic behavior:

  1. Responsibility: Submit to Human Authorities (1 Peter 2:13-14)

  2. Reasons: Silence Fools' Ignorance (1 Peter 2:15)

  3. Rights: Serve God, Not Sin (1 Peter 2:16)

  4. Respect (1 Peter 2:17): Neighbors, Church, God, Govt.
