Genesis 11:1-9, Genesis 12:1-3, Romans 13:1-7
Man chooses to defy God
God makes a covenant with Abraham
Men continue to live by flesh instead of by promise
Men won’t hear the Law nor the prophets
God reveals cycles of sin
Men chooses government over God
Men’s choices for government include consequences
Righteousness exalteth a nation but sin is a reproach to any people
God uses authority to establish law and order against evil
Jesus taught us to expect warfare
