In America, not voting is considered un-American, and many view it as a duty rather than just a right. Jerry Falwell believes it is inexcusable for Christians to fail to vote during an election. However, the practice of Christians voting must be evaluated against biblical principles since no record of Christians voting exists in the New Testament. Philippians 3:20 states, "For our citizenship is in heaven," suggesting that a Christian, as a citizen of heaven, should not participate in earthly elections. II Corinthians 5:20 describes Christians as ambassadors for Christ, implying that involvement in another nation's affairs, such as voting, would violate their role. Jesus reinforces this in John 17:16, stating, "They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world." A Christian's allegiance shifts entirely to Christ upon conversion, similar to how an American renouncing citizenship cannot vote in American elections. Ephesians 6:12 further explains that Christians' battles are spiritual, not political, emphasizing that involvement in worldly affairs distracts from their true mission. Christians are called to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, focusing on overcoming spiritual evil rather than engaging in political processes.

As ambassadors of the Kingdom of God, Christians are called to live in this world while not being of it, adhering to the laws of the land as long as they do not conflict with God's commands. Just as an ambassador to a foreign country does not participate in its politics or vote in its elections, Christians should not involve themselves in the political systems of this present world. Voting for a candidate could place a Christian in opposition to God's will, as God sets up and removes leaders according to His purpose. Instead of engaging in political elections, Christians are to follow Jesus' example, who did not take part in such matters but called His followers to come out of the world's ways. Our mission is to represent God's Kingdom, focusing on His plan and proclaiming the good news of Christ's return to establish God's government on earth.

Despite this evil world being full of selfish, abusive leaders and sinful, miserable people, God has a well-organized plan for humanity's salvation, which does not involve entering earthly politics or striving against the forces of evil in this world through political means. Jesus Christ did not come to engage in earthly politics or to make this world better through such involvement. Instead, He taught the good news of the coming Kingdom of God, a new governmental system headed by God the Father and Himself, which will be established at His return as King over all humanity. His Kingdom is not of this world, and while He warned the world through His preaching, He remained separate from its political systems. Jesus taught His disciples to live in this world as foreigners and ambassadors for His coming Kingdom, not aligning with worldly customs or philosophies. When questioned about paying taxes to Caesar, He made a clear distinction between God's Kingdom and earthly authorities, stating to render to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's, acknowledging earthly authority while maintaining ultimate loyalty to God.
