God wants us to honor civil authority

We know that all honor flows from God (1 Samuel 2:30).  The bible says that God has established civil authorities for our benefit.  Who are civil authorities?  We are talking about political leaders, policemen, firemen and et cetera.  Our Heavenly Father has provided for us these civil leaders to provide justice, safety and protection for the people.  So what is the reward of honoring civil authorities?  When we honor our civil authorities, it promotes the Kingdom of God's reputation in the community.  It says in Romans 13:1-7 (AMP) “13 Let every person be loyally subject to the governing (civil) authorities. For there is no authority except from God [by His permission, His sanction], and those that exist do so by God’s appointment.  2 Therefore he who resists and sets himself up against the authorities resists what God has appointed and arranged [in divine order]. And those who resist will bring down judgment upon themselves [receiving the penalty due them].  3 For civil authorities are not a terror to [people of] good conduct, but to [those of] bad behavior. Would you have no dread of him who is in authority? Then do what is right and you will receive his approval and commendation.  4 For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, [you should dread him and] be afraid, for he does not bear and wear the sword for nothing. He is God’s servant to execute His wrath (punishment, vengeance) on the wrongdoer.  5 Therefore one must be subject, not only to avoid God’s wrath and escape punishment, but also as a matter of principle and for the sake of conscience.  6 For this same reason you pay taxes, for [the civil authorities] are official servants under God, devoting themselves to attending to this very service.  7 Render to all men their dues. [Pay] taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, and honor to whom honor is due.”
