(KJV.) I PETER 2:17
(17) Honour all men, Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
DIGNITY OF INTEGRITY!
Grace be unto you! Believers of Christ, are earthly dignitaries, sons, and daughters of the eternal kingdom, and joint heirs with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, sojourners of the earth; therefore, let us never shy away from our callings because of persecutions and reproaches of our enemies, rather remain steadfast doing the will of Jesus, counting ourselves worthy of his callings, thinking positively about ourselves, discerning that we are significantly made, peculiar people called out of darkness into the marvellous light of Jesus Christ, walking worthily of our callings, having respect for others.
As true dignitaries of Christ, believers have to show respect for others, for, respect is reciprocal, it is a give and take situation; when we show respect to people we come in contact with on daily basis, whether in higher or lower authorities, they will definitely do likewise to us, wherever we go, eyes will roll up, to perceive our godlinesses; if we love ourselves, we will love and value the life of others, treat them right, whether saved or unsaved, especially to those we associate within the body of Christ; case in point, all things of this earth, belongs to Jesus; since we live on the earth, in mortal bodies, he lives in the realms of spirits; he positions souls to govern his authorities on the earth; therefore, the kings and queens in higher authorities, the managers, and supervisors at the workplaces, ministers, and pastors in the congregations, parents at the home fronts, are in the positions of authorities, working for Jesus; whenever we disobey any type of authorities, we disobey Jesus himself, because he put them in charge of his works; therefore, let us reverence our maker, who perceives all our undertakings under sun, do what is rightfully required before his eyes, respect the governing authorities, and let alone, all the judgments of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
Beloved, for example, during the ministry of Jesus Christ, little children were brought unto him to lay his hands, and pray for them, his disciples rebuked them. hmmm! I wonder why? But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbade them not, to come unto me, for such is the kingdom of God. cf. Matthew 19:13-14; because the kingdom of God is never about the adulthood, it is about the heart, who we are in him; therefore, no matter who he has in authority, let us have respect for them, for, it is a rightful attitude for a believer, exemplifying Jesus attributes. Continue ye in Love! Peace and Love be unto you! Amen and Amen!
