In my years of living a christian lifestyle and sharing the message of John 3:16, “ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”, I never thought that I would live in a country that would embrace Christian Nationalism.
To embrace Christianity with Politics and ethnicity is to embrace God and Caesar.
Jesus clearly made that distinction in Mark 12:17. “ Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s”.
Caesar had to approve the new Jewish high priest every year, Caesar printed the new half- shekels so the Jews can give offerings and pay for their sins.
It had to be a seen when Jesus turned over those tables of the money changers in the temple. The coins with Caesar’s inscription was rolling everywhere on the floor.
That was a message of separating politics from God’s people.
America came so far with integration after treating their brothers and sisters of color below human standards, Christian churches were more integrated in the eighties and nineties in brotherly love, but we are now going back to separation and hateful political rhetoric that only open wounds of a horrible past.
Those who never got rid of their hate and prejudicial lifestyle, taught it to their children.
Jesus didn’t only pray for His disciples to be ONE, but those who will believe in Him through their word. John 17:20.
History reminds us of the hate and cruelty of leaders who embraced Religion and nationalism. It didn’t work and never will.
The Ten Commandments was a written tablet on stone by the hand of God. It was to introduce Himself to a people who didn’t know Him. It was to teach them I Amas He did to Moses. .The children of Israel only saw and knew the gods of Egypt, but a few elders kept them focus and reminded them of His promise while in Goshen.
IT WAS NOT LEGISLATION, IT DIDN’T WORK UNTIL HE MADE A BETTER ONE..
Jesus mediated a better covenant with better promises that we as believers are hopeful and have confidence.
You cannot have a bunch of elected leaders writing legislation for RIGHTEOUSNESS. No sin is worse than the other, Jesus blood covers every sin because we were all born in sin.
Romans 3:23. “ For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”.
Righteousness was purchase on the cross of Calvary by the one and only Son of God Jesus Christ.
My prayer is for every preacher of the gospel and the 77% of evangelicals who believe that we are doing the right thing, to have a prophetic glimpse of what will happen to America if we continue on this course.
