Paul teaches that we should obey governing authorities in order to avoid
Answer Details
Paul teaches that we should obey governing authorities in order to avoid God's wrath and a bad conscience. In Romans 13:1-7, Paul states that all authorities are appointed by God, and therefore, to disobey them is to rebel against God. He further explains that the authorities are meant to punish those who do wrong and protect those who do right. Therefore, if we resist the authorities, we bring judgment upon ourselves and invite God's wrath. Obedience to the authorities, on the other hand, gives us a clear conscience and keeps us from incurring God's judgment.
