God rewards those who obey Him. The Bible teaches that all people should submit not only to God by His divinely instituted secular authorities, to the county's rulers, to church leaders, to heads of households, but not those in authoritative positions expect others to be in disobedience to God and His Word. Obedience to God's Word is the willingness to submit to its authority. Scripture puts emphasis upon the need for believers to be obedient to God, trusting in His faithfulness. Obedience to a secular authority is limited by faithful obedience to God.
Reverence expresses itself in active obedience.
Christ sent His believers to make disciples of the nations, in this instance it is better to obey God if all governmental and social efforts are exhausted.
