a Lighthouse Series booklet
The Christian who determines to obey the New Testament faces various questions about his relationship to society and the state.
- What is the nature and function of the state?
- Should or can the state operate on the principles of New Testament ethics?
- If not, what part may the Christian have in politics and the government?
- Should the Christian vote in order to help put "good" men into office?
Some contrasts (in Romans 12 & 13) between the responsibilities of the Christian and the responsibilities of the State:
| The Christian | The State | |
|---|---|---|
| Is to love (12:9,10)
Is not to avenge (12:19) Is to overcome evil with good (12:21) |
Is a terror to evil (13:3)
Is a revenger (13:4) Executes wrath on evildoers (13:4) |
