2 Chronicles 19:6-7 And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord, who is with you in the judgment. Wherefore let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the Lord, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.
Jehoshaphat set up judges in all the towns and villages of the kingdom, and spoke to them about their duties. You shall judge according to the Laws of God, for you answer to Him and not to any man. Bribery, corruption, and partiality are common among government officials throughout the world. But it shall not be so among you; your authority comes from the Lord. You shall not play favorites to any human or human group, no matter their wealth or politics. You, judge for the Lord.
Human government is instituted by God, and the believer in any governmental position responds by judging with trustworthiness and integrity. The key to honest and faithful governance is remembering that you are to be faithful to Him, and not to any kind of human influence.
This kind of integrity is the ideal for justice and peace in the land. Human government is meant to be under God, fair and impartial. Of course, it doesn’t work out that way because all governments are run by sinners. But the Christian responds to the Gospel by ruling his area of influence for God and not for man or for self. And all of us have responsibility for someone according to our vocation, whether in the family, at work, in the community, or as a citizen. We judge responsibly in whatever position we are placed.
