How can Christians respect those in authority?

Answered in 1 source

Christians show respect by obeying laws that align with God's will.

Respecting authority involves obeying laws that align with God’s moral order. Romans 13 describes rulers as ministers of God who are meant to promote good and punish evil. Believers are encouraged to lead quiet and peaceable lives by abiding by laws that are just. This demonstrates a commitment to both God and community, as obeying civil laws can reflect God's justice and order on Earth.
