In the New covenant God doesn't address a particular nation but, rather each of us as individuals. He isn't setting up rules for an earthly government but, rather calling folks to a heavenly kingdom. But receiving reconciliation with God: aka- the forgiveness of sins doesn't remove us from this world, the rule of law,taxes, ect. We are still accountable to our neighbor and government. What Christ's sacrifice fixed was our relationship with God. We are no longer a condemned sinner waiting the execution of the sentence.
