If you’ve been weary from striving, this message points you to the only boast that matters: the finished work of Jesus. Freedom, peace, and purpose flow from that one source.
Let this passage re-center your heart on the gospel and renew your joy in what Christ has done for you.

How should believers live under earthly governments—even flawed ones? Romans 13 confronts us with a challenging yet vital command: to submit to governing authorities as those established by God.
