Here's an excerpt from an article by Cal Thomas in March's Tabletalk magazine is titled "The Authority of the State":
Why do authorities exist? It is because we live in a sinful and fallen world, and without authority everyone would do "what is right in his own eyes," resulting in chaos. Those who will not be constrained from within by the living presence of Jesus Christ, must be restrained from without by the state, acting under God's ultimate authority, in order to "promote the general welfare," in the words of the (U.S.) Constitution's preamble.
