What does the Bible say about civil authority?

Answered in 1 source

Romans 13:1-7 teaches that all governing authorities are instituted by God.

In Romans 13:1-7, the Apostle Paul emphasizes that Christians are to be subject to governing authorities because they are ordained by God. This means that the powers that exist have been established by divine decree for the purpose of maintaining order and justice in society. Even in the presence of corrupt leadership, God's sovereignty assures believers that authority serves a greater purpose, ultimately contributing to the proclamation of the Gospel.
