Every four years our nation is involved in a presidential election. Most of the attention is focused on the candidates of the two major political parties. The campaigns can and often become heated.
What should be our reaction as Christians? Just here, the question is not concerning which political party or candidate is better. Instead we need to keep before us the proper perspective. While we are thankful to live in a country where we have the freedom to vote, please remember our greater citizenship is our heavenly citizenship.
Personally, I believe Christians should vote. But no matter who wins the election in November, it will remain true that this earth is temporary. But our heavenly citizenship is eternal. “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ” (Philippians 3:20).
