Legitimate or Illegitimate Authority: When to Obey or Resist

How do we properly apply Romans 13? What is legitimate or illegitimate authority and when should we obey or resist? Our very own founding fathers wrestled with these questions. Would God bless rebellion against a tyrant like King George II? Fortunately, they made the right decision and signed the Declaration of Independence. However, the people of Hitler's time answered these questions wrongly and 6 million Jews were murdered and the world plunged into a bloody war. Let's look at God's Word to find out how we should answer these questions.
