To me it seems clear-cut: as ambassadors & witnesses, followers of Christ should strive to submit to the laws and be above reproach in all things. We are to be salt, light, and to give unbelievers no room to accuse us of doing wrong (1 Peter 2:12). That said, of course, submission to authority must always be secondary to submission to God (Acts 5:29). I agree.

Thinking of law instead as a means to illuminate us to what is right and holy... Seems like a good idea to me!
