What does the Bible say about obeying God rather than man?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that we should prioritize obeying God over man, as seen in Acts 4:19-20.

In Acts 4:19-20, Peter and John boldly declare their commitment to obeying God rather than the human authorities that commanded them to stop speaking about Jesus. The apostles understood that their primary allegiance is to God, which reflects the foundational principle of sovereign grace theology: that we are called to honor God above all else. The assertion that 'we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard' indicates a deep, personal conviction and experience of God’s truth, which compels believers to testify, regardless of opposition from human authorities.
