What does the Bible say about Christians' involvement in politics?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible indicates that Jesus' kingdom is not of this world, suggesting that Christians should focus on spiritual matters rather than political involvement.
In Luke 12:14, Jesus reminds us that He is not appointed as a judge or arbitrator in worldly matters, emphasizing that His kingdom is spiritual in nature. John 18:36 reinforces this idea, where Jesus states that if His kingdom were of this world, His servants would fight. This perspective reflects a core principle in the lives of Christians: they are strangers and pilgrims on this earth, with their focus directed toward the kingdom of God rather than political disputes. True patriotism for a Christian involves prayer and seeking the glory of God rather than political reform.
