As we finish up this series on Christian Nationalism, I wanted to respond to the next challenge on the list: isn't the law powerless to save? So why should we even focus on it? Furthermore, isn't God's law too complicated and difficult to follow? This two-fold challenge is quite common, but usually involves an over-simplification of the purpose of the law. The law can never save, but it does point us to Christ, it does serve as a guide for holy living, and it does restrain evil. And while the civil government is not in the business of trying to save souls, it has a duty to restrain and punish evil as God's servant, or deacon. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s4e23-challenges-to-christian-nationalism-part-5-the/id1435737420?i=1000661744518 #GOVERNEDBYGOD #ChristianNationalism #ChristIsKing #GodsLaw #Romans13 #theonomy #Theocracy #lawofGod
