What are the biblical grounds for disobeying government? What are the primary legitimate ways for us to respond to governmental abuses?

As we consider the biblical exceptions for submission to government, Christians must be on guard against sinful attitudes and behaviors.

Christians must understand that God established the principles and structures of all human authority.

God gave human government authority over its citizens at the local, state, and national levels.

Does God approve of the moral character of every person in a governmental role? Are government officials held accountable to God?

There will come a day when God takes back this world and establishes His own perfect earthly kingdom.

If you refuse to submit to a government official without biblical grounds, you are opposing God's ordinance.

God has assigned government the crucial role of maintaining order by punishing wrong and praising good.

God established government and appointed rulers for our good.
