Explanation

(a) Writing to the Romans on "Civil Responsibility", Paul admonished them to subject themselves to the governing • authorities, for there is no authority except that from God and those that exist are initiated by God. Therefore, resistance to authorities means resisting God and this leads to judgement. Rulers, Paul pointed out, do not apply sanction against the good, but upon wrong doers. The people must fear the authorities and do good and by so doing, they would be commended by their ruler. However, when they do wrong, fear overtakes them; then the ruler wields his sword on them accordingly. Therefore, they must be subject to their ruler to avoid the wrath, of God. More importantly, to have a clear conscience, they should pay their taxes and give honour to whom honour is due.

(b) Manifestations of Good citizenship can be done as follows:

(i) Obeying the laws and regulations of the land.

(iii) Exercising other civic responsibilities.

(iv) Assisting law enforcement agencies in the prevention of crimes.
