Submission to God's governance on earth

Romans 13
God has established governing authorities on earth and therefore it is our duty to submit to God's establishment here on earth.
We are in debt to God just as we are in debt to his will here on earth, even paying taxes!
However, as Paul writes, we are even more in debt to the relationship God has commanded us to do, love one another. V10: "Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law."
We must:
v12: "...put on the armor of light."
v13: "...behave decently."
v14: "...clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ,"

To God be the Glory.
