HOW CHRISTIANS RELATE TO THE GOVERNMENT

Kevin J. Schoonhooven and CBC Elders

The purpose of the paper is to outline what we believe is the biblical position on the purpose, role, and responsibility of the government and how believers should then relate to government. The clear Biblical foundation is understanding the authority given to government by God, the limits God assigns to that authority, and then apply practical principles of wisdom to guide believers in relating to and responding to the government in various situations. Our desire is that we be equipped to be responsible citizens where God has placed us in this world and most importantly take our direction from our King, The Lord Jesus Christ in whose Kingdom is our ultimate citizenship.
