Does God care about civil government?

 The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ – Matthew 22:39

Brooklyn_Museum_-_The_Scribe_Stood_to_Tempt_Jesus_Le_scribe_se_leva_pour_tenter_Jésus_-_James_Tissot_-_overallJesus commanded that we love people. There’s a problem here. You can not love your neighbor if you don’t know how to do it. Christians must take time to discover how to love people in all spheres of society. Every relationship we have must come into alignment with God and His laws of love.  This includes my marriage, my father daughter relationship, economic relationships of boss and worker or seller and buyer, education relationships of student and teacher, and yes even governmental relationships of citizen and representative.

You can not love your neighbor if you don’t know how to do it. I can’t operate in tyranny and be loving the people under my control.

Study the Bible on how to relate, and apply it to every relationship. The Kingdom of God will expand. The world will be different. .
