Romans 13:3, Rulers Are Not a Terror to Good Works
Law abiding citizens have no cause for fear. It is the law breakers that need fear because the ruling government is God’s instrument to mete out justice in any civil society. Law breakers are punishable by law. The government through its law enforcement agencies carries out the cause of justice. Thus, criminals and all evil perpetrators are dealt with by the law. Therefore, the Christian who obeys the law of the land is protected by the law and enjoys the benefits of peace. Without civil government, the country will be in a state of anarchy.
