Psalm 119:30
I have chosen to be faithful; I have determined to live by your laws.All of man's laws emanate from the laws first established by God. He institutionalized the law according to Romans 13:1-4 when Paul wrote:
Ironically, the God-given privilege to create laws has been used to establish laws against God himself by creating laws banning even the basic acknowledgment of His existence and His part in the equation of the affairs of man. Obey the laws of man, but don’t allow yourself to be twisted into disobedience to God. Don't let the trickery of the world catch you off guard.Obey the government, for God is the one who put it there. All governments have been placed in power by God. So those who refuse to obey the laws of the land are refusing to obey God, and punishment will follow. For the authorities do not frighten people who are doing right, but they frighten those who do wrong, so do what they say, and you will get along well. The authorities are sent by God to help you. But if you are doing something wrong, of course you should be afraid, for you will be punished. The authorities are established by God for that very purpose, to punish those who do wrong.
