We will never

 We will never

The writer of Hebrews states,

"Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord." Hebrews 12:14.

There is in particular, in the United States, a rise of “Christian nationalism”. People claiming to be Christians who believe the lie that the United states is a Christian country.

Not only that they are becoming more militant backing politicians they believe will do what they want. Someone has said they are hijacking Christianity.

The apostle Peter makes it clear 

"Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.  

Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us." 1 Peter 2:11,12.

Note Peter tells us to live good lives among unbelievers. Further more he makes it clear we are aliens in this world. We have no country to call our own.

The late evangelist Billy Graham put it this way,

“My home is in Heaven. 

I'm just travelling through this world.”

                                                       Billy Graham.

To be a Christian is to do the work Christ commanded us to do when he said,

"Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20.

We will never accomplish this task if we get involved in secular politics or fail to live at peace with those around us.

Please think about it.
