Romans 13

Paul wrote about the importance of government. He stated that government receives authority from God and is therefore to be obeyed. He also reminded us to love one another.

Obeying the laws of whichever government we find ourselves living under is a way of showing love. Insofar as possible, we should live at peace with all people and disobeying the laws of the land does not foster living in peace with the government. Our ultimate allegiance is to God and to His law, but as long as we are living on Earth, we need to be abide by the laws of man.
