Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God. And so we're going to step back and look at the gospels, how this addresses this, how Jesus would address this issue and, of course, in how the apostles echoed his teaching and brought it forth, and how we have fallen short of that.
In a time where Christian nationalism is gaining momentum, understanding our true identity in Christ becomes crucial. In this episode of 'Encounter Recovery Ministries', Dr. Rick Peterson kicks off his series 'A Holy Nation' by addressing this very topic. He challenges the notion that any earthly nation, including the United States, can be considered God's chosen people. Instead, Dr. Peterson emphasizes that God's holy nation transcends ethnic and national boundaries.
His message is clear: mixing faith with political agendas can lead to destructive outcomes. By drawing from the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, Dr. Peterson shows how living a godly life, free from worldly power struggles, is the true mark of a Christian. He encourages listeners to rise above fear and anger, often propagated by Christian nationalism, and instead focus on embodying the values of Christ in their daily lives.
This episode is a call to reflect on whether we are being swept up in religious fervor tied to political motives or genuinely living out our faith in a way that honors God and shames our detractors. For anyone grappling with their spiritual identity in a politically charged world, this episode offers valuable insights and a reminder of where our true allegiance should lie.
