Do you think Jesus would involve himself in politics? Why? Because he was no part of the world. He did not involve self in wars, etc. Christians are very political. The opinions, However, true Christians do not even waste their time with politics because they know that God is the only one to be worshiped. Therefore, I do no involve myself with politics.

indexed right here are basically some. this question would desire to basically be asked by potential of people who anticipate that politics is an arbitrary gadget in society that would not *rather* impact every physique in any way. it is loopy. Politics is approximately how we live our lives. it rather is giving some human beings the capacity to make rules that decide for what something persons can and might't do. because of the fact it rather is a Christian's duty to make constructive that the dominion of God is going on right here and now, that justice and healing be accessible to all God's toddlers, it rather is a Christians optimum duty to make constructive that we've leaders who themselves carry justice and healing as wonderful targets. For a Christian to declare "i don't would desire to be in contact with politics -- it rather is worldly" isn't any doubt one among the extra irresponsible and unChrist-like comments he could make. Deuteronomy sixteen:20 Psalms ninety 8:9 Isaiah 11:4 2 Samuel 23:3 Ezekiel 40 5:9 Proverbs 29:14 Isaiah a million:17 Colossians 4:a million Micah 6:8 Proverbs 11:a million a million Kings 3:9 Rom. 13:a million Matt. 22:15-22 Matt. 26:fifty 9; 27:a million John 19:11 Rom. 13:6 Rev. 17-20 Rom. 13:4 I Peter 2:14 Rom. 13:4 Rom. 13:3 I Peter 2:14

I wish more Christians would get involved in politics, because our world needs leaders who believe in right and wrong, and know they are accountable to God for all they do. The Bible is full of examples of men and women who gave leadership to their people, and yet did not compromise their moral and spiritual convictions. Joseph, for example, was appointed prime minister of Egypt not only because of his wisdom, but because he refused to compromise his moral integrity (see Genesis 39-41).
At the same time, politics—like any other career—has its own set of temptations and pressures, and you need to face them honestly. Some people, for example, enter politics solely out of pride; they enjoy the attention, or they like to have power over others. Others sacrifice their moral principles in order to gain position or stay in office. Don't let this be true of you.
No matter what the future holds, however, make it your goal above all to live for Christ and seek His will for your life. Let Jesus' command be your guide: "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness" (Matthew 6:33). Yes, someday God may give you a position of leadership—but whether He does or not, submit your life to the greatest leader of all: the Lord Jesus Christ.

No, it isn't.
It is a sin for a Christian to involve themselves in things that tend to accumulate around politicians--bribery, dishonesty, power-hungriness, and the like.
But to be involved in politics and to remain faithful to God's word is not a sin.

No, it is a sin not to involve ourselves in it.
And it would be a sin if we allowed the machinations of politics to drag us into the mud and muck that is so much a part of politics....

The Bible does not say specifically, but Christians are admonished to obey the laws of the land they live in.
