“Everyone who commits (practices) sin is guilty of lawlessness; for [that is what] sin is, lawlessness (the breaking, violating of God’s law by transgression or neglect—being unrestrained and unregulated by His commands and His will)” (1 John 3:4, AMP).
As Believers, it’s good to obey rulers and authorities, but not all man-made laws are wise and just. Worldly laws can change frequently, but God’s laws remain constant. When worldly laws contradict God’s Word, we must follow the prompting of His Holy Spirit.
