From early on in our childhood we had rules and orders that we were told we had to obey. These rules came from loving parents trying to protect their children from danger such as; stop and look both ways before crossing a street. Other rules were designed to help us grow to be mature and responsible citizens. Don’t be late, work hard and help others when you can. These were just a few rules given to us so we could have a positive influence on others.
As we got older, we had laws to protect us from danger as well. Speed zones, seat belt laws, and giving the right of way to pedestrians are just a few for our safety and for the safety of others as well. Though these are man-made laws, as Christians we have an even greater responsibility to observe the laws of the land.
