1 Timothy 2:1-3 “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, (2) for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. (3) For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior.”
In the above quoted passage of scripture, the apostle Paul reveals to us the main purpose for the governments that God puts in place, which is to govern their nations in a manner that allows their citizens to live quiet and peaceable lives. The reason we know that this is their main purpose, is because the Holy Spirit admonishes the church to prioritize praying for heads of state and their associated government structures, that they would govern in that exact manner. And so God would not tell the church to make this petition for their governments the first priority, if that was not His main purpose for the governments in the earth. Indeed the Holy Spirit confirms to us that this is God’s main priority for governments because He goes on to say that, “this is good and acceptable in the sight of God”.
