If you have not yet voted, here are three Biblical principles that should guide your choices.
Christians are called to stand for righteousness and biblical values.
Proverbs 14:34 says, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.”
God cares about the moral direction of a nation. Christians should support leaders and policies that promote righteousness, justice, honesty, and the protection of human dignity. We should not remain silent when we have an opportunity to stand for what is right with our vote, even when the culture stands for something different.
Christians are called to be responsible citizens and influence our nation.
Matthew 5:13-14 says, “You are the salt of the Earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.”
Jesus calls believers to be salt and light in this world. We should not withdraw from society, but positively influence it. Voting gives Christians an opportunity to participate in decisions that affect families and communities.
Christians are called to protect future generations and advocate for others.
Proverbs 31:8 says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.”
Christians should care about the vulnerable, the babies in the womb, the children, families, the poor, and those who are oppressed. Voting is one way to use our voice to advocate for those who need protection and justice.
Proverbs 29:2 says it best: “When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice;
when the wicked rule, the people groan.”
Vote for the righteous. And vote against the wicked.
