What does the Bible say about the Christian's role in politics?

The Scriptures affirm that while individual Christians may participate in the political realm, the Church as a corporate body does not have a political agenda mandated by Christ. The Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 emphasizes the Church's spiritual mandate to proclaim the Gospel and disciple nations rather than seeking moral reform through political power. This conviction rests on the early Church's example, which focused on transforming society through the proclamation of the Gospel, even under oppressive governmental systems, rather than seeking to change laws or enact political reforms.
