What does the Bible say about godly authority?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that godly authority must reflect God's mercy and judgment, as seen in Psalm 101.

Psalm 101 outlines the characteristics required for those in authority under God's sovereignty. It emphasizes that rulers must embody both mercy and judgment, recognizing that they are ordained by God to represent Him. Their governance should match His perfect model, as good leadership requires divine guidance, humility, and adherence to God's commandments. Thus, godly leaders are called to develop a heart for righteousness, reject wickedness, and surround themselves with faithful followers while relying on the Holy Spirit for wisdom.
