                                 WHY CHRISTIANS SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN POLITICS

                                                                                                                                                      By W. G. Guy

          Over the years I have heard people say that Christians should not be involved in government and politics, and that it should not be a topic discussed in church.  Obviously they do not know their Bible.  Nearly every Book in the Bible deals with government, politics, kings, rulers, pharaohs, empires and religious regimes.  The only Books in the bible that do not deal with political authority are the Book of Ruth, which is a personal story, and the Book of Job which deals with a spiritual entity and personal quality.
 

        One of our Founding Fathers stated that, “The church is the moral compass of the government.” Therefore it is incumbent upon Christians to take an active role in influencing our government.  Failure to do so means that there is no “moral compass” to guide and direct our national affairs.  Thus we have the result of our current national condition of massive corruption and its associated violence; just like Jesus warned would happen as it was in the days of Noah.

         If you don’t believe that the Bible deals with government and politics, consider the following overview of the Books of the Bible and how they deal with the subject:

  1. Genesis:  Abraham deals with the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities of the plain.  He also deals with Egypt’s Pharaoh, Abimelech King of Gerar, and also the dukes and rulers of Edom.  Also covered is the global empire started by Nimrod called Babel; then consider Joseph and hiss dealings in Egypt with the Pharaoh, and who himself becoming the second in command of that empire.
  2. Exodus:  Moses’ conflicts with Pharaoh and his court of counselors and magicians.
  3. Leviticus:  The setting up of the laws and forming the government of Israel.
  4. Numbers:  In the third verse of the first chapter a census is taken, (the people numbered), to determine those who are able to go to war with the nations and governments that they need to conquer to obtain the Promised Land.
  5. Deuteronomy:  Deals with the rededication of the principles of Israel’s theological form of government and civil order.
  6. Joshua:  Israel’s conflict and conquest of the nations, kingdoms and governments who were their godless opposition in the Promised Land.
  7. Judges:  The establishment of governing rulers of Israel to deal with their enemies and issues they faced.
  8. 1 & 2 Samuel:  Introduces Israel’s first prophet and king; deals exclusively with government leadership and struggles for authority in dealing with King Saul, King David and rulers of the surrounding areas.
  9. 1 & 2 Kings:  Israel’s record of its kings and the political intrigue they faced dealing with both the godly and the wicked.  Included also is the work of the prophets as they were the advisors to the kings; (both godly prophets and wicked prophets).
  10.  1 & 2 Chronicles:  Records the actions of Israel’s kings and leadership, both godly and wicked.
  11.  Ezra:  Is about a servant to the King of Persia and his efforts in the restoration of Israel following the   Babylonian captivity and his conflict with the local political leaders that opposed Israel’s restoration in the   area.
  12.  Nehemiah:  A member of the court of the Persian King who secured permission and authority from the Persian  emperor to help Israel’s resettlement and to assist Ezra.  He had the political authority of the Persian Empire to thwart those who opposed Israel’s efforts at re-building.
  13.  Esther:  A story entirely dealing with the inner politics of the Persian Empire and the outcome of a planned   subterfuge and the Israelite victory as the outcome.   
  14.  Psalms:  Record of the king of Israel’s personal trial and victories with prophetic input.
  15.   Proverbs:  Writings of the wisest of rulers, King Solomon, applying his wisdom to life’s events.
  16.  Ecclesiastes:  The musings of King Solomon about the values in life’s journey and what is most important in   life.
  17.  Song of Solomon:  The wisest of kings expressing private affections toward a woman he loved.
  18.  The Major and Minor prophets:  all deal with moral issues and problems of Israel’s governmental/political   leadership.  (Note that God employs the service of His prophets when His people lose their moral compass   and  allow sin to dominate their lives.  This is true also for today even though many refuse to acknowledge the   work of God’s prophets.
  19.  Daniel:  this book deals explicitly with political and governmental leadership of all the major empires and   prominent nations from the time of Babylon right up to the return of Jesus Christ.
  20.  The New Testament Gospels and Acts:  Each deal with the King of Kings and His role in our lives and how   political and religious leadership resisted Him, His followers and His coming Kingdom.
  21.  The Epistles of Paul, Peter, James and John:  All deal with how we are to live in accord with regard to God’s   provision and how to deal with others; especially with governing authority,
  22.  Revelation:  This Book deals with the ultimate King whose Kingdom and Government that will rule for all   eternity.
Isaiah 9:6-7 – For unto us a child is born, and unto us a Son is given: and the government is upon his shoulder, and he shall call his name, Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The prince of peace.   The increase of his government and peace shall have none end: he shall sit upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to stablish it with judgment, and with justice, from henceforth, even forever: the zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
From this brief summary of the Books of the Bible you can see that we are to be involved in the affairs of government, especially to be that “moral compass”. 

Revelation 5:10 –  and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

          God purpose for the saints is to be part of Chris’s government and we are to rule and reign with Him.  We need to start practicing now as leaders in His government.  Not exercising our God given ability means that the godless and wicked are unopposed in governing in corruption.  The least we should do is pray for those in leadership positions.  
 
1 Timothy 2:1-3 – I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 

​          Now you know why Christians should become involved in government!  We are going to be part of His eternal government.  So we better practice getting involved now!
