While it is true that the saints should never submit to wicked rulers and illegitimate laws, they must remain in submission to those who are rightfully in authority over them and who rule in the fear of God. This principle of Covenantal hierarchy is to be honored in all areas of life. Like the church, so too is government ordained and instituted by God. Rebellion against legitimate hierarchy is always outside the will of God. All life is ethical.
All decisions are ethical.
Ethics are not relative. They are absolute and are defined by the Scriptures. Ethics are the third component of God s Covenant structure and are to be applied by every person and institution. God s Law is the model of righteous ethics. The Law of God is a light and a lamp on either side of redemption.
