“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?”-{Jer 17:9 NLT}
The heart of every problem is the heart- Sin! The remedy is not political but Jesus Christ.
God commands all men everywhere to repent….repentance towards God and faith in Christ Jesus! “I have had one message for Jews and Greeks alike–the necessity of repenting from sin and turning to God, and of having faith in our Lord Jesus.”- {Acts 20:21 NLT}
The problem with politics is to trust politics is the answer to the heart of people! By all means, be part of the privilege afforded to vote and support those who hold to the truth. But what does God say is to be of “first” in the church? It is to “pray for those in authority!” -{1 Tim 2:1-3}. Do you pray as often as you criticize? Do you pray for their soul as Jesus is worthy of their praise, and is not receiving it?
Some write distastefully, crudely about those in authority and with venom it appears, when the question is are you praying for their soul? Are you praying that we may have a “quiet and peaceful life” not for our own wellbeing but for the Gospel to be shared and go forth unimpeded?
Followers of Christ are to permeate every area of society as “salt and light,… and let our light shine before men that they may SEE our GOOD WORKS and GLORIFY our Father in Heaven.’
There is no politician who can meet the inward need of every human being, only God can, through the LORD Jesus Christ.
The greatest message is not found in a political party it is found in a PERSON, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. AND HIS MESSAGE- THE GOSPEL which is the Power of God to everyone who believes.
It is not about our comfort but HIS GLORY, HIS HONOR, HIS FAME!
Paul said that the Gospel was of “FIRST IMPORTANCE,” to him and the message. This has not changed, only the life saving, life imparting message of the Gospel of the LORD Jesus Christ CAN impart the liberating of the sin sick soul, “dead in sin …without God, and Christ,”
People need the LORD, including politicians and their families…”pray…”…share… the message of LIFE!
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”- {John 10:10} or as the NLT says,
” …My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. “
