“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior.” And because God has established the Civil Government for the good of our fallen world (see Romans 13), it is vital that we as Christians actively participate in the structure of government under which we live. Therefore, we are to work for laws and elect civil representatives that will best represent God’s revealed will and the good of our neighbor. If you have not yet voted, you are encouraged first to be informed as a Christian citizen, then vote, and then continue to pray for those elected to serve as our civil representatives.
