Rebellion
"Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they
keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account. Let them
do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for
you."
Hebrews 13:17
"A wise man is cautious and turns away from
evil, but a fool is arrogant and careless. A quick-tempered man acts foolishly,
and a man of evil devices is hated."
Proverbs 14:16-17
"Samuel said, 'Has the LORD as much delight
in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the LORD?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams.
For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and insubordination is as iniquity
and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He has also
rejected you from being king.'"
1 Samuel 15:22-23
"Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every
human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors
as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those
who do right. For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence
the ignorance of foolish men."
1 Peter 2:13-15
"If you consent and obey, you will eat the best
of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.'
Truly, the mouth of the LORD has spoken."
Isaiah 1:19-20
"Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep
sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to
you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be
conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance."
1 Peter 1:13-14
"Have this attitude in yourselves which was
also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did
not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself,
taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.
Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient
to the point of death, even death on a cross."
Philippians 2:5-8
"Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal
body so that you obey its lusts, and do not go on presenting the members
of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves
to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of
righteousness to God."
Romans 6:12-13
"So this I say, and affirm together with the
Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility
of their mind, being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the
life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness
of their heart."
Ephesians 4:17-18
"You were formerly darkness, but now you are
Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light."
Ephesians 5:8
"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and
he will flee from you."
James 4:7
"Although He was a Son, He learned obedience
from the things which He suffered."
Hebrews 5:8
"You younger men, likewise, be subject to your
elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another,
for God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Therefore
humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at
the proper time."
1 Peter 5:5-6
"Be subject to one another in the fear of Christ."
Ephesians 5:21
"No harm befalls the righteous, but the wicked
are filled with trouble."
