Gospel Movie clip "Faith in God" (1) - Is Obedience to Those in Power Truly the Same as Obedience to God?

Introduction

In the Bible, Paul said, "Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation" (Romans 13:1-2). How should we believers treat those in power? Is obedience to those in power truly the same as obedience to God?

I, the Foremost of Sinners, Finally Fell Before God’s Word

Paul once said, “I am the foremost of sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15). I today feel very much the same, because I was once an “activist” who resisted Almighty God’s end-time new work. For as long as six years, I had frenziedly resisted and condemned God’s new work and never made any investigation, shutting the door on the salvation coming upon me over and over again. … Looking back to the past, I feel extremely regretful. No words can express the feeling of indebtedness in my heart.
