What does the Bible say about submission to authority?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that we are to submit to authorities established by God, as seen in Titus 2:9-10.
In Titus 2:9-10, the Apostle Paul exhorts servants to be submissive to their masters, emphasizing that it is done to adorn the doctrine of God our Savior. Submission to authority is a crucial aspect of the Christian life, as it reflects our understanding of God's sovereignty. The Christian's submission is not a mark of inferiority but rather a reflection of divine order. In every sphere of authority—civil, church, and family—God calls His people to submit, which ultimately proclaims the Lordship of Christ. As we submit, we affirm God’s authority and trust in His sovereign purpose for our lives.
