改革宗神学探讨（旧文整理 14） / Reformed Theology Studies (Archive 14)

Reformed theology teaches that Christians may vote and take part in public life, but the Bible—not political parties, ideologies, or personal interests—must be the highest authority. When no candidate is perfect, Christians are not looking for a savior, because only Christ is the Savior. Instead, they prayerfully use wisdom and conscience to choose what is more consistent with biblical justice, truth, and love for neighbor.

At the same time, Christians must never make politics an idol or reduce the gospel to a political movement. The church's central mission is always to worship God, preach the gospel, and make disciples, while individual believers faithfully serve as salt and light in every area of life.

从改革宗的角度来看，可以用一句话概括这四个问题：

> 神的主权绝不会取消人的责任；神已经预定结果，也预定了人当忠心使用祂所设立的方法。
> God's sovereignty never removes human responsibility. God ordains not only the end, but also the faithful means by which He accomplishes His purposes.

这也是改革宗神学理解预定、末世、宣教、社会责任和政治参与的一条贯穿始终的核心原则。
