The Christian's Political Party

A political party is "a group of persons organized to acquire and exercise political power" [1]. In other words, a political party is a group of people organized to obtain power to govern and to use that power.

So, getting to the subject of this article, to talk about the Christian's political party is to talk about the group of people that he*, as a Christian, is a part of in order to achieve the ability to rule and use that ability. So, that being said, does Scripture talk about such an organization that a Christian is naturally a member of? Well, when a sinner becomes a Christian, he becomes a member of Christ's kingdom (Colossians 1:12-13). And God's Word speaks of Christians as those already made to sit together in heavenly places in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:6). Along with that description of Christians' current position in Christ, Scripture tells us that, in the future, Christians WILL reign with Him (2 Timothy 2:12).

So, it can be said that, when a sinner repents (i.e. changes his mind) and puts his trust in Jesus alone, he joins Christ's political party. By joining this party, he, when Jesus's kingdom is fully manifested after His second coming, will have and exercise governing power for God's pleasure and to His glory for all eternity!
