What should Christians do when government actions conflict with God's laws?

Answered in 1 source

Christians should obey God rather than men when government actions contradict divine law (Acts 5:29).

When faced with governmental laws that conflict with God's commands, Christians are called to obey God's Word above the edicts of man. As seen in Acts 5:29, when Peter and the apostles were commanded to cease preaching the gospel, they replied, 'We must obey God rather than men.' This illustrates that while we adhere to the authorities God has established, our ultimate allegiance is to His will. Therefore, it's crucial for believers to discern and act upon God's truth, often requiring wisdom and courage in light of potential consequences.
