We should ____ civil law and order.

• A. Defy
• B. Ignore
• C. Disregard
• D. Support

Answer: (D)

Upholding civil law and order reflects respect for lawful authority and a commitment to the common good in society. Believers are encouraged to live peaceably, cooperate with authorities, and support the systems that protect people and enable ministry to function safely. Supporting civil law and order means following laws, complying with regulations, and respecting the rights and safety of others, which helps maintain stability for families, churches, and communities. Defying, ignoring, or disregarding laws would undermine safety and social harmony, whereas choosing to support shows responsibility and trust in the structures that govern civic life.
