Human government was originally ordained by God to maintain proper organization and administer His laws on earth. God was to be the sovereign ruler over human government and it was to operate on the basis of His Word, plan, and purposes.
Ang pamahalaang panlupa ay pinasimulan din ng Diyos upang magkaroon ng kaayusan at upang maipatupad ang Kanyang mga batas dito sa lupa. Ang Diyos ang pinakamakapangyarihang pinuno sa ibabaw ng anumang makataong pamahalaan, at ito ay palalakarin ayon sa Kanyang Salita, plano, at mga pakay.
