Christians must get the vote out!
7 reasons why Christians MUST VOTE!
“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” (Proverbs 14:34)
If the foundations are destroyed, the Psalmist said, “what can the righteous do?” (Psalm 11:3). The foundations of our nation are crumbling because the sins of the nation are multiplying at a record pace. Sin is now celebrated.
For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers.” (Proverbs 11:4)
We may be voting and that is our responsibility as good citizens, but ultimately it is all-wise and sovereign God who sets up leaders and deposes them (Daniel 2:20-21); He will give wisdom and knowledge regarding elections and voting if we ask Him (James1:5; Proverbs 2:6)
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.” (Proverbs 9:10) Look for wisdom when you evaluate candidates. Those who truly seek the Lord, the Holy One, will desire to live prudent lives. It’s a crucial need for those in leadership (Proverbs 8:14-17)
Looking around at today’s culture, it’s not hard to see foolish thinking, which is not of God the Holy One. Fools despise godly wisdom and instruction (Proverbs 1:7)
If we want godly wisdom and insight, we must rebuild the foundations of our country. Paul, in describing the unrighteous, says, “There is no fear of God before their eyes” (Romans 3:18). However, there will be much remorse and regret as its end is the way to death. (Proverbs 16:25)
