“Can a Christian serve as a juror?” ~Denville

Hey, thanks for your question!

I would say that the Bible's answer is a definite "yes" (see Romans 13:1-3 below). In fact, since Christians are guided by the Holy Spirit in wisdom and truth, it stands to reason that we'd be the best people for the job. It even says that Christians will judge the world and even the angels (1 Corinthians 6:1-3). The only exception I would offer is if, by participating as a juror in a specific case or for a specific government, you would be violating God's law. We are to submit to man's law except when it conflicts with God's. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask more questions or continue on this topic!

"1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you."
