I don't care what pentecostalism or any other isms thinks or has done.
Government is ordained by God to promote good and restrain evil, as outlined in
Romans 13. Its primary function is to maintain justice, uphold the sanctity of life, and protect property.
Christians are called to:
*Respect and Obey Authorities: Be model citizens, honoring and obeying governing authorities (
Romans 13:1-7, 1 Peter 2:11-17)
*Pray for Governments: Pray for earthly governments to promote peace, justice, and righteousness (
1 Timothy 2:1-4)
*Be Prophetic Voices: Speak out against injustice and call governments to accountability.
Examples of serving in govt:
*Joseph: Served in the Egyptian government, using his influence to benefit society (
Genesis 45:9-12).
*Daniel: Held high-ranking positions in foreign administrations, implementing policies that benefited society.
*Queen Esther: Used her influence in the Persian government to save the Jewish people.
