Summary

"The Duty of Submission to Civil Authority" by J. F. Moor is a sermon that explores the relationship between Christian faith and civic duty in 1830. It argues that Christians have a responsibility to obey the government, drawing upon the Bible to support the idea that God establishes authority. The sermon explains that submission to civil authority includes both avoiding rebellion and actively supporting lawful governance. It recognizes that Christians may face situations where they must choose between obeying God and obeying the government, and while following God, they should accept the consequences without inciting violence. The overall message encourages peace and righteousness during times of unrest.
