“My son, fear the LORD and the king, and do not join with those who do otherwise, for disaster will arise suddenly from them, and who knows the ruin that will come from them both?” Proverbs 24:21-22.
Christians are called to exercise wisdom in fearing both God and state. They are called to obey God rather than man following the apostolic example of Peter found in Acts 5:30-32. However, notice that the record shows Peter connecting the civil disobedience to the death, resurrection, and exaltation of Jesus along with repentance, forgiveness of sins, the gift of the Holy Spirit, and obedience to God. It is a complete package not to be taken apart in pieces.
“But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree. God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
