Why morality matters in a republic
Being moral isn’t always easy and is not always popular. 2 Chronicles 28:19 speaks of king Ahaz and how he encouraged moral decline in Judah. I don’t care what your politics are, if you support someone for political office who’s morals will encourage a lack of morals in others you are sowing seeds for yours and the countries destruction!!!
In a pure democracy, morals matter very little. The ends always justify the means, and morality plays a minor role if at all in the body politic. In a pure democracy the law means nothing in the face of public opinion and the goals of those who are manipulating that public opinion.
In a republic, morality and the law are what is most important. With out morals, folks will not obey the law, and the rule of law will die a slow agonizing death. With morals there is a respect for the law that the body politic created. With morals there is protection for the minority in number, from the whims of the mob! With morality there is grace, mercy and patience. A republic can not stand long once morals are abandoned and we don’t hold other accountable for their actions. A republic will not stand long once we start elevating those of low morals to public office, because like king Ahaz they will encourage the decline of morals in the nation!!!
