Why is it necessary to be subject to authorities?

Answered in 1 source

It is necessary to be subject to authorities as they are appointed by God for order and justice.

Being subject to governing authorities is crucial as it acknowledges the order that God has instituted for society. Paul’s teaching in Romans 13 clearly demonstrates that these authorities serve God's purposes. While we may not agree with every action taken by them, respect and obedience to their realm is a demonstration of our trust in God’s sovereignty. When we subject ourselves to authority, we participate in God’s designed order for society, which promotes peace and justice.
