What does the Bible say about submitting to authorities?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches us to submit to authorities because all powers are ordained by God (Romans 13:1).

Romans 13:1 clearly states, 'Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers, for there is no power but of God.' This verse emphasizes that all authorities in civil government are appointed by God. We submit not solely to the individual in power, but to the position they hold, as God is the ultimate authority. Submitting to earthly authorities is part of our obedience to God, reflecting our trust in His sovereignty over all creation.
Scripture References: Romans 13:1, 1 Peter 2:13-14
