Explanation
Romans 13: governing authorities are established by God; submission is proper unless it conflicts with Gods commands. Pay taxes, respect officials, obey laws. Government maintains order, punishes wrongdoing.
Limits: “We must obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29). When government commands sin, Christians must refuse. Prophets confronted unjust rulers. Jesus criticized religious leaders. Obedience is not unconditional.
Christians should be good citizens: obey laws, pray for leaders, participate constructively in society. But ultimate allegiance is to Gods kingdom, which may sometimes require civil disobedience.
