Should You Obey Evil Laws? The Truth About Romans 13

Should Christians Always Obey the Government? What Romans 13 Doesn’t Mean

In this episode of Unlock the Bible Now, Scott Mitchell examines what the Scriptures actually teach about human government, authority, and Christian obedience. With increasing political corruption and the recent exposure of hypocrisy within the U.S. administration—particularly regarding the lack of justice for Jeffrey Epstein’s victims—many believers are asking: Are we always required to submit to human rulers?

Using Scripture to bring clarity, Scott explores the meaning of Romans 13, Titus 3, and other relevant passages to show that while God establishes authority, not every ruler operates within His will. Some principalities are influenced by spiritual darkness—not divine ordinance.

This study will challenge your assumptions about government, reveal what the Bible says about disobedience for righteousness’ sake, and encourage you to place your trust fully in the Lord—not in man.
