Romans 13

1 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established.The authorities that exist have been established by God.
How ironic it is that i'm going through this trial right now. How can I deny or hide from church leaders if scripture states that God has appointed them? Now on to a more legal note, we have laws for a reason. If we willingly co-operate with the law we set an example for ourselves showing that we can contribute to the community while also worshiping a God most people neglect.
Then Jesus said to them, "Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." And they were amazed at him (Mark 12:17)

10 Love does no harm to a neighbour. Therefore love is the fulfilment of the law.
Love involves unselfish service to others because we understand that God loved us despite our transgressions. We are not supposed to conform to the ways of this world, therefore unlike most of the world we know the greatest act of love ever known. If we go beyond our legal bindings to build others up, people would naturally be curious to know why we live the way we do. And we'll reply We love because he first loved us (1 John 4:19).
