Top 10 Reasons Christians Should Vote


Voting publicly recognizes that we submit to the authority of the political
system in our nation as established by God. - Romans 13:1-7

Voting recognizes the equality of all people and their right to speak and be
heard. - James 2:1

Voting is one way that we can obey God's command to seek the good of those
around us and our nation as a whole. - Philippians 2:3

Voting shows that we care deeply about who our leaders are as we are urged
to offer prayer and intercession on their behalf. - 1 Timothy 2:1,2

Voting is a simple yet significant way we can do something about politics in
our nation. " All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do
nothing" -  Edmund Burke. - (Psalms 34:14)

Voting makes a difference in the same way a grain of salt makes a
difference, and that is how we are to influence our society for good.
- Matthew 5:13

Voting is a privilege not to be taken for granted. Those of us who reap the
benefits of living in a democracy should play a part in upholding democracy.

Not voting is a form of voting, as it will influence the outcome. We need to
take responsibility for our actions, as well as our lack of actions. - I Peter
1:13

Voting is part of our stewardship to use all the resources we have been
given in ways that honor God; to waste a vote is to squander a gift.

Voting is Biblical. Jesus commands us to fulfill our responsibility to the
civil authority. - Matthew 22:21
