Romans 13:1-2, Abide By the Law
It is the duty of believers to submit to the authority of human government. The Apostle Paul explains that it is God who sovereignly appoints human government. As such, when the believer resists civil authority, he is resisting the order that God has set to maintain law and order in society. He pronounces God’s displeasure and judgment upon believers who rebel against civil authorities. In any civil society, the law and the enforcement of it bring peace and order.
