Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Romans 13:14

DISCOURSE: 1914PUTTING ON THE LORD JESUS CHRISTRomans 13:14. Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ; and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.IF too many reduce the whole of Christianity to a mere system of morals, it must be confessed, on the other hand, that there are not wanting many who almost exclude morals from the Christian code.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Romans 13:1-14

Shall we turn in our Bibles to Romans 13 .As Christians, what should be our attitude towards government? Paul declares,Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: and the powers that be are ordained of God ( Romans 13:1 ).The Bible does not allow for civil disobedience. For we are commanded by the scriptures to be in obedience to those governing bodies that are over us. Paul wrote this at the time in which Nero was ruling in Rome. And we oftentimes, say,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 13:1-14

Romans 13:1 . Let every soul be subject to the higher powers, of magistrates, governors, proconsuls, kings, and emperors. The christian finds them in power; they allow us to lock our doors at night, and their courts are open for redress of wrongs. These are the shields of heaven to which, under God, we owe our safety from anarchy. We are therefore bound to pray for kings; for in the splendour of the throne we have glory and defence, and by consequence, should cheerfully pay all just demands... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Romans 13:14

But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ — Herein is contained the whole of our salvation. It is a strong and beautiful expression for the most intimate union with him, and being clothed with all the graces which were in him. The apostle does not say, Put on purity and sobriety, peacefulness and benevolence; but he says all this and a thousand times more at once, in saying, Put on Christ. And make... read more

14. Put ye on… Christ Let him be buckled on to your body and soul as all armour, Romans 13:12; let him be invested upon you as a dress instead of wanton attire, Romans 13:13. Put him on as your righteousness, as pardoning your sin and ruling your life. Put him on as your Redeemer and ultimate Glorifier. Put him on by an inward living faith, and by an external exemplary profession. Provision Forethought, purpose. Flesh In so pure an attire as Christ, be infinitely removed from all the... read more
