After introducing this section on how we are to live as chosen strangers on a journey between two worlds, Peter now begins to show how this is applied in all areas of life. It begins with recognizing earthly authorities as a part of God’s good design and how we relate to the authorities of this world as citizens of a better world in a way that shows our identity as beloved children of God.    _____    Main Idea: Our witness as citizens of this world shows that we are citizens of a better world.    _____    I.As citizens of a better world, we submit to earthly authorities out of reverence for Christ.
