How to Glorify God in the Face of the Government

from Living Biblically · host Church & Family Life

How do we bring glory to God in regards to our relationship to the civil government? Josh Buice explains in this video that the Bible tells us in Romans 13 that God has instituted the civil government for our good. Accordingly, we're not to fear the government because we're not lawless individuals. Those people who are lawbreakers and who are lawless, they're to fear the government. As we submit to the governing authorities, we bring glory to God.  But, if the civil government ever commands us to disobey God or hinders us or forbids us from obeying God's clear commands, then it's at that very moment, whether that's in private or in the public sphere, that we make a decisive choice to actually obey God rather than man. And it's in that very moment that we also bring glory to God.  Acts 5:29 (NKJV) - "But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men."
