The question has been asked of us as Christians:
“Do you follow man made laws or God’s law?”
And, the answer to this according to the Bible is, that Christians are disciples of Jesus Christ, so we follow God’s law.
Jesus said,
“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.”
John 14:21
And, the apostle Peter wrote,
“Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.”
1 Peter 2:13-16
So, Christians obey God, and obeying God includes obeying the statues of men; insomuch as those statutes do not conflict with God’s law.
However, in the event that obeying a statue of men would cause one to disobey God, then a Christian must choose to disobey men, rather than to obey God.
As the same apostle Peter said by the Holy Ghost:
“Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.”
Acts 4:19,20
Amen.
