How should Christians respond to unjust authorities?
Answered in 1 source
Christians are instructed to pray for unjust authorities and trust God's overarching sovereignty (1 Timothy 2:1-2).
In instances of unjust authorities, Christians are called to pray for those in power, regardless of their character. 1 Timothy 2:1-2 admonishes us to make prayers and intercessions for kings and all in authority. This is not to condone injustice but is an acknowledgment that God operates through all domains of authority for the good of His people. Trusting in God's sovereignty means recognizing that every ruler, even unjust ones, serves His greater purpose, often in ways we cannot understand. We should also model grace and humility in our engagement with these authorities.
