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

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that we must obey God rather than men, as seen in Acts 4:19-20.

In Acts 4:19-20, the apostles Peter and John faced a command from the Sanhedrin not to teach in the name of Jesus. They responded by stating that it is better to obey God than men. This highlights a fundamental principle in Scripture that underscores God’s authority over earthly authority. When human laws or commands conflict with divine instruction, believers are called to stand firm in obedience to God's Word. The courage displayed by Peter and John was a direct result of being filled with the Holy Spirit, emphasizing that spiritual empowerment is crucial in facing opposition to the Gospel.
