How Does God Want us to Vote?

It’s almost Election Day, though millions have already cast their ballots. How does God want us to vote? Let’s look to see what the Bible has to say.

Abortion: This is a huge issue. Neither presidential candidate is completely pro-life. But one VP candidate is pro-abortion through the ninth month, and it is law in the state where he is governor.

What does God have to say about this? Two of the many scriptures on murder are Exodus 20:13, “Thou Shalt Not Kill,” and Proverbs 6:16-19, “There are six things that the Lord hates….hands that shed innocent blood.”

Gender Identity: One political party (the same one mentioned in #1) is pushing an ideology that there are more than two genders—ie, you can be either a boy or a girl, neither boy nor girl, half boy or girl, fluctuate between the two, or even be assigned the wrong sex at birth. In some states if parents object to their children wishing to “transition,” the government can intervene and strip the parents of their rights.

God says in Genesis 5:2, “He created them male and female and blessed them.”

Israel: That same political party referenced above does not fully support Israel. Many in that party are pro-Palestinian instead. There are those in this party who hate Israel and have been very vocal about it even before the October 7^th attack on Israel.

God says in Leviticus 25:23, “The land is the Lord’s land, and it is His to assign and dispose of.” Referring to Israel in Genesis 12:3, He says, “I will bless those who bless thee.”

Border Security: That same political party has opened wide the border and let in millions of unvetted illegal immigrants who have wreaked havoc on this country in every manner–crime, housing, the economy, etc. The other presidential candidate wants an orderly, legal immigration system.

Are borders and walls necessary? Absolutely. Even the Holy City in Heaven has walls and gates around it. Revelation 21:12-13 refers to it: “It had a great high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates…There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west.”

These are just a few of the important issues to look at.

You may not like the personality of a certain candidate, but this is not a personality contest. This is about policy, and how a candidate’s policies will affect the future of this nation.

As Christians, we are to be followers of Christ. When Jesus walked this earth, he always did what his father wanted, even to the cross. He lived a selfless life. If we are to be His followers, we should do the same.
