Christ continually spoke about God’s government being established on earth. Christians yield to and obey—submit themselves to — government authorities!
As Christians you are subject to obey the appointed authorities over us as long as it does not violate the laws of God. When a Christian refuses to obey the appointed authorities, then you are resisting and disobeying God!
