  1. The Christian in the World Grade 8 Chapter 20

  2. The family is the basic unit of society. Families come together to form societies. Civil societies belong to an order established by God to promote and ensure the common good of every man. • Civil authorities must make just laws to regulate and govern their citizens.

  3. God’s laws come first. The state has legitimate authority only under God. Therefore, the state does not have the right to demand something that violates God’s laws. • To exercise its authority, the state must promote the common good through morally acceptable means.

  4. We are not bound to obey unjust laws. We are bound to obey all laws which conform to God’s law. • Citizens have a duty to promote patriotism. • Citizens have a duty to use their influence to make their nation just. They must support the government through taxes and be willing to defend their country against unjust aggression. We must also pray for our country.

  5. God created the world out of nothing, giving man dominion over the created world. This dominion is to be exercised through stewardship – caring for the created world and using it according to God’s plan.
