What does the Bible say about our relationship with government?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches us to be subject to governing authorities as they are ordained by God.

Romans 13 emphasizes that all governing authorities are established by God, and resisting them is equivalent to resisting God's ordinance. While the systems of governance may vary—be it a democracy, monarchy, or authoritarian regime—God is in control of all and has ordained these powers for our greater good. Our compliance is not solely for fear of punishment but also for the sake of conscience, emphasizing the sovereign rule of God over all societal structures.
