Choosing Representatives is a "God" Idea
If godly men and women have no voice in the community, then by default the political life of America will stay in the hands of the ungodly.
The freedom to choose our representatives is not an American invention – it is a God-given plan for godly government. In Exodus 18:19-23, we see that Moses was advised by his father-in-law, Jethro, to “represent the people before God.” Then in verse 21, Jethro tells Moses to …choose able men from all the people – God-fearing men of truth who hate unjust gain – and place them over thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens, to be their rulers. Moses followed his father-in-law’s godly counsel, and as a result, the Lord blessed him.
In a similar way, America’s system of representation is patterned after this biblical example. In the hands of every citizen is placed the privilege and responsibility to select wise, godly men and women of integrity to represent them in the affairs of government. John Jay, who was one of the authors of the Federalist Papers and first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, said: “Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest, of a Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”
