What does the Bible say about government authority?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that all governing authorities are established by God and that we should be subject to them.

According to scripture, specifically Romans 13:1, we are instructed to be subject unto the higher powers, for there is no power but of God. This indicates that every governing authority has been ordained by God. Therefore, resistance to such powers is considered resistance to God's ordinance. Christians are called to honor and respect those in authority, acknowledging that their positions serve God’s sovereign purposes on earth.
Scripture References: Romans 13:1, John 18:36
