Christians should be good citizens. That is why we should obey the law, as the Apostle Paul instructs us to do in Romans 13. But that obedience is not unlimited, and our highest loyalty is not to the state but to Jesus Christ. If the government orders us to do something forbidden by Scripture or forbids us from doing something required by Scripture, we should submit to the higher authority and disobey the "law."
