CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM
There will come a time when every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord, but that will happen only when Jesus returns. Until then, Jesus did not want to establish an earthly kingdom
From the Bible:
- John 18:36: “My kingdom is not of this world.”
- Philippians 3:20: Our citizenship is in heaven
- Matthew 20:25-28: “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
- Luke 17:20-21: Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
Our views about Christian nationalism need to be faithful to these truths.
