Peter tells us to, "Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good."
What does it mean to be subject for the Lord's sake?
As believers, we're ambassadors of Jesus Christ. His hands and feet, His representatives. To be subject for the Lord's sake then, is to submit to the authorities in our lives primarily for the sake of our witness to them, and their perception of what Jesus is like.

Would also take Luke 6:22-23 "Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man! Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets."
