The true footstep followers of the Lord Jesus are called to a "heavenly calling" (Hebrews 3:1), to the "high calling of God" (Philippians 3:13). Male and female Christians are running for the office of joint heirship with Christ Jesus in His Kingdom<\/strong>. The Apostle Paul was one of these runners. He realized that a person cannot run for two offices at the same time. He said, "Do not be conformed to this world." (Romans 12:2) This means do not become entangled with the things of this world.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Again Paul said, "This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind<\/strong> and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:13,14). Similarly, Jesus said, "Ye are not of this world"; and again, "My kingdom is not of this world,<\/strong>" meaning the present evil governments\/systems (John 18:36).<\/p>\n

Therefore, we come to the conclusion that the chief duty of the Christian is to avoid entangling alliance with worldly systems<\/strong>, and to devote himself to preparing for the kingdom of our Lord when He comes. All good citizens should desire righteous people in office, but a righteous government cannot be established by imperfect men. The Christian's hope is in the biblical teaching that Christ Jesus<\/strong>, the great Messiah, will soon set up His kingdom<\/strong>, and establish righteousness in the earth. "Thy kingdom come, they will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Matthew 6:10<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
