What Does the bible say about respecting the Law of the Land?
In a research I found that the bible instructs believers to respect and obey the laws of the land, recognizing that governing authorities are established by God for order and justice.
Romans 13:1-2 states, "Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves."
This passage teaches that obedience to civil laws is part of a believer’s duty unless those laws directly contradict God's commandments (Acts 5:29).
By living lawfully, Christians demonstrate integrity, promote peace, and serve as a light to the world, reflecting God's righteousness in their daily lives.
What is your opinion about this?
I have seen people preaching that we should not obey the governing authorities, which is anti-Christian.
