02/20/17 HUMAN GOVERNMENT IS ANSWERABLE TO GOD.
From simply a national/ international point of view, it is only right for any government to put their country first, such as, America first or Britain first or India first or Swaziland first or "whatever-land" first.
HOWEVER, if we want the best for our country (or any country), then it must be JESUS FIRST.
For those who think that religious belief has no place in government, take a look around the world. Look what you end up with when Islam is the predominant spiritual influence, or when atheism is the predominant spiritual influence, or when humanism is the predominant spiritual influence, as contrasted with nations where Biblical Christianity has been the predominant spiritual influence.
Also, remember, although God gave man the right, the authority and the power to govern himself personally and nationally, He did not give anyone permission to govern independently and separately from His Divine Authority. Such government is rogue and will answer to God.
Individuals, societies, political parties and nations are answerable to God for their choices, because God's word (the Holy Bible) tells us...
Isaiah 33:22
(22) For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.
and
Romans 13:1-4
(1) Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
(2) Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
(3) For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
(4) For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
