By the standard of the world, the majority vote opinion is the acceptable way of measuring the correctness or wrongness of an idea or way of life. For example, at a point in history, some societies saw homosexuality and other sexual immoralities as aberrations, but with the majority of their population now in support of such lifestyles, these acts are now being celebrated, so much so that even some who ought to be God’s mouthpiece in these societies are afraid of criticizing them, in order not to lose their appeal before the world. How sad! Irrespective of the prevailing opinion in such societies, God’s position remains steadfast forever, and it is clearly stated in the words of 1st Corinthians 6:9:
“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind”
The doctrine of the world says the minority may have their say but the majority will have their way. Thank God that we are not of the world, and so we are not bound by their ideology or way of life (John 17:14-16). We are citizens of a kingdom, and our God is our King (Ephesians 2:19)


As citizen of heaven, let us not be terrified into surrendering to the world’s beliefs. Do not let their militant way of enforcing their agenda move you. Don’t be like Aaron who conceded to the evil idea of making a god of gold for the Israelite's because that was the popular opinion of the majority (Exodus 32:1-6). Remember the words of Exodus 23:2a which says to you:
“Thou shall not follow a multitude to do evil;”
Also, don’t forget the words of your heavenly Father, saying in Proverbs 1:10:
“My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.”
You need to understand that one with God is majority (Romans 8:31). Always stand for the truth, even in the face of a hostile majority, with the full understanding that with God, you are in the majority. 1st John 4:4 declares that you have overcome the world because the presence of God in you makes you greater than the world. I therefore encourage you to soar on the victory won for us by Jesus Christ to confidently stand for the truth and speak out against all forms of sin and unrighteousness (John 16:33). Let the whole world know that one with God is majority and resist the lie which says that because you are outnumbered, you have to join the world to perpetrate evil, especially those identified as being socially acceptable or politically correct.
