Legalidades

A Bíblia reconhece a necessidade de leis e governo civil. Os cristãos são chamados a obedecer às autoridades estabelecidas por Deus, enquanto mantêm a lealdade suprema a Cristo.

Submissão às autoridades

Toda autoridade é instituída por Deus. O cristão é chamado a respeitar as leis, pagar tributos e honrar quem governa.
