How do we know that God ordains authorities?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture confirms that all powers are ordained by God to fulfill His purpose.

The Apostle Paul's statement in Romans 13 underscores that there is no authority except from God, implying that every political structure is under His sovereign rule. This understanding is not limited to favorable regimes. Whether good or corrupt, all governments serve God's overarching plan. The context of God's love for His people assures us that everything that happens—including governance—is under divine control and ultimately works for the good of those who love Him.
