How should the Christian respond to the government of his land?...

He should give faithfully according to the following rule:

Taxes to whom taxes are due.

Revenue to whom revenue is due.

Fear to whom fear is due.

Honour to whom honour is due.

This is the proper way for a Christian to respond to the government of his city and country. If he acts defiantly toward the civil authorities he will not bear a true witness of God, our lawful King. God is glorified when we keep the law, not, ordinarily, when we break the law.
