Remember how God's Law is written in the heart of every person from birth. So, even Russia and China have laws against murder, adultery, stealing, etc. As Believers, it should not be difficult at all to keep clear of the law. To avoid having to appear before a judge for wrong-doing. Moral laws a nation enforces are God's laws already.
Civil laws govern the smooth operation of a society.
Also this, knowing the time, that it is now the hour for you to be aroused from sleep, for now our salvation is nearer than when we believed. Either you have it, or you don't. But we have not yet received our inheritance. All the indications of the time of God's judgment. Remember Jesus' story of the 10 virgins who were sleeping, and then the midnight cry came and it was time to go into the wedding feast.
