Christians are to submit to all types of government 5

Why Christians are to submit to all types of government according to Romans 13:1-7:
#1: To recognize our place under the authority of God, 1
#2: To avoid resisting the authority of God, 2a, 3
#3: To escape the punishment of God, 2b, 4
#4: To maintain a good conscience before God, 5
Principle #1: Every Christian is to submit to everything the government requires of him or her, even if it is oppressive, unjust, or against one’s own personal standards and beliefs, as long as what the government requires is not contrary to what God requires in His word
When Christians are called by God to disobey the government:
#1: Christians are called to disobey the government when it calls them to unjustly take human life, Exodus 2:15-22
#2: Christians are called to disobey the government when it calls them to worship another god, Daniel 3:12-18
#3: Christians are called to disobey the government when it calls them to forsake their devotion to God, Daniel 6:7
#4: Christians are called to disobey the government when it calls them to silence the gospel, Acts 4:18-20

Our overarching principle for civil disobedience: When government tells us to do something God calls us not to do, or tells us not to do something God tells us to do, we have to disobey government
