At the same time, we must be faithful to the government God has given us (Romans 13:1-2 ). Those who truly serve God will usually be good citizens.

v. 21: My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change. We must always respect and worship God as our Creator. At the same time, we must be faithful to the government God has given us (Romans 13:1-2 ^a). Those who truly serve God will usually be good citizens. If we are not loyal to God, we cannot be truly loyal to anyone else. But if there is a conflict between God's law and man's law, we must obey God rather than people.
