In Romans 13:1-7, the apostle Paul teaches general principles about a Christian response to the government. Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches the principles of political authorities (they come from God, resisting the government is resisting God, they are instituted to approve what is good and punish evil); the Christian responsibility towards rulers and politicians (be subject to the government, pay taxes, and honor them because they are ministers of God in the political realm); and when to obey and when to disobey.
“Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.”
