The Role of Christians in Politics
Christians are encouraged to be involved in politics, with the understanding that their participation can reflect their values and beliefs. Unlike the first-century believers who lived under a dictatorship without voting rights, modern believers have the opportunity to influence their governments. It is seen as both a right and a responsibility for Christians to engage with political matters, pray for their leaders, and participate in elections. By voting and potentially running for office, believers can align their actions with their prayers for justice and righteousness.
