Jesus taught us in Matthew chapter 12 that it is sometimes necessary to break man’s law in order to maintain God’s law, also known as “higher law;” Matthew 12:1; Matthew 12:2; Matthew 12:3; Matthew 12:4; Matthew 12:5; Matthew 12:6; Matthew 12:7; Matthew 12:8; Matthew 5:20; Luke 11:46; Luke 11:52; John 9:16; Galatians 5:22; Galatians 5:23; Isaiah 8:10.
If you invite Jesus be your Savior but not your Lord, it offends him for you to call him “Lord;” Matthew 7:21; Matthew 7:22; Matthew 7:23; Matthew 15:8; Matthew 25:11; Matthew 25:12; Luke 6:46.
God found it necessary to break the Roman seal and roll away the stone at Jesus’ sepulcher, both of which were illegal, to resurrect Jesus. By that same logic, Christians who refuse to disobey evil or God-hostile laws oppose God while thinking they are doing him a favor; Matthew 27:62; Matthew 27:63; Matthew 27:64; Matthew 27:65; Matthew 27:66; Matthew 28:2; Mark 13:9; Acts 13:27; Acts 26:9; Acts 26:10; Acts 26:11; 1Corinthians 2:8.
Cowards, milquetoasts and procrastinators are of no use to God; Revelation 21:8; 2Timothy 1:7; Hebrews 12:12; 1Corinthians 16:13; Matthew 8:22; Matthew 25:13; Luke 9:60; Deuteronomy 20:8; Philippians 1:28; Ezekiel 12:28.
Paul was an ambassador of the Heavenly nation and he boldly preached “the Kingdom of God” throughout the Roman Empire, but now he is dead. However, King Jesus continues to need laborers, ambassadors, preachers, martyrs and men of courage to serve the advance of his Kingdom in the rest of the world. Along with many others we have said “Yes” and” OK” to his call; 2Corinthians 5:20; Ephesians 6:20; Acts 9:27; Acts 28:31.
Above all, God wants his people to be reconciled to him and, without procrastination, to be gathered into the protection of his nation, also known as his “Kingdom,” where he is our God, Father and King and we are his people, holy and blameless, belonging to him exclusively, as a bride belongs to her husband. Naturally, King Jesus is offended by governments that put their numbers of ownership and control on his bride, which constitutes a grotesque trespass and usurpation, for which they will stand before his royal judgment and give account; Isaiah 43:15; Isaiah 43:21; Jeremiah 31:9; Titus 2:14; 1Peter 1:15; 1Peter 1:16; Ephesians 1:4; 1Corinthians 6:20; 2Corinthians 1:21; 2Corinthians 1:22; 2Corinthians 11:2; Matthew 25:32; Acts 10:42; Acts 17:31; Romans 11:4; John 10:16; Leviticus 26:45; Jeremiah 24:7; Jeremiah 30:21; Jeremiah 31:33; Jeremiah 32:38; Ezekiel 11:20; Ezekiel 14:11; Zephaniah 2:9; Zechariah 8:8; Hebrews 8:10; Revelation 14:9; Revelation 14:10.
