In the western world, we live in a society where authority is increasingly resented and even rejected. We find movements such as "Defund the Police" gaining popularity in several places. This modern rejection of authority had its roots in what is often called the Counter Culture Movement, which dates back to the 1960's — it is having impact yet today. What does the bible say about authority? Is there authority defined by God that we must acknowledge and respect? The answer is YES if you accept the word of God.
