The authorities that exist have been established by God

 Romans 13:1-14

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. 

Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.

Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another,

summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

Why?

Respecting the authority for all of these is allowed by the Lord.

Love others covers everything we need to do.

Keep what we should do and be aware the time is limited, so do our best to honor our God.

How?

Let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Jesus Christ.
