Rich begins by reviewing the foundation and limit of human authority, emphasizing that submission to authority is for the Lord's sake. He then examines the God-ordained role of government, which is to punish evildoers and praise those who do good. Rich unpacks the concept of punishment as retribution and praise, contrasting these with rehabilitation. He also discusses the limits of submission to human authority, noting that it should not interfere with God's authority. Rich then explores the principle of suffering unjustly for doing good, drawing from the context of government and other passages like Romans 13 and Revelation 6. He concludes by applying the principle to various scenarios, including government, slavery, and marriage, emphasizing the importance of perseverance in doing good, even in suffering. The sermon ends with a prayer, encouraging listeners to submit to authority for the Lord's sake and use their freedom as slaves of God, especially in the face of unjust suffering.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/-1xmaUbZT1dmsBBQDgdxfvPFzp_yq2OGlV9wBBG_VLk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM1MDUzLzE2NjUw/MDYyODctYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
