Why should all Christians be involved in the political process?

The purpose of Civil Government is to serve as a righteous administrator of justice. It is to defend the people and it has the power of the sword to stop evil inside and outside our country. It is to protect the innocent and punish the evil doers. Proverbs 21:1-3…….The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord………. Leaders or elected officials are held accountable as ministers of God. Those who serve as elected officers are there by the hand of God whether they recognize Him or not. Therefore, government is established and allowed by our Sovereign God! Micah 6:8 ……what does the Lord require of you……but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with Him It is the responsibility of citizens to exercise our freedom to vote! This determines our future freedom to worship, to raise our children as we believe best, and to live our lives as we choose, without fear. We are to submit to those who have been elected. Romans 13:1…….. pay taxes, etc. Here's a prayer for our upcoming election: Almighty God, to whom we must account for all our powers and privileges: Guide the people of the United States in the election of our next President, our officials and all our representatives; that, by faithful administration and wise laws, the rights of all may be protected and our nation be enabled to fulfill your purposes; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
