How do we know God is in control of authority?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture affirms that all authority is ordained by God, as stated in Romans 13:1.

Romans 13:1 teaches that every soul must be subject to the higher powers because there is no power but of God. This indicates that all authority comes from God. When we view authority figures through this lens, we understand that they are put in place by God to fulfill His purposes. Even when civil leaders act contrary to what is righteous, God's sovereignty remains intact, and He uses these authorities to enforce order. Our trust in God's supreme authority over all human institutions offers comfort and assurance that nothing occurs outside of His divine will.
