Bible Verses About Elections
The Role of Authorities
As believers, we acknowledge that God has established authorities in our lives, including those we vote for in elections. These leaders are placed there for a purpose, and as we engage in the voting process, we must remember to uphold our responsibilities as citizens in the eyes of God. This means that our choice of leaders should reflect our well-grounded values and principles. God encourages us to respect those in power, understanding that ultimately they are put there by His will. Electing the right leaders is crucial because their choices affect not only our lives but also our communities and countries.
