If the saints
are going to rule the world, what prevents them from now on starting with the
smallest thing, such as a social action committee, a communal action board,
etc.etc? What must be very clear from the outset is that no Christian or group
of them should be affiliated with political parties, unless they themselves
constitute it authentically. But the question arises: What is a truly Christian
party or group?
It should be
clarified that belonging to a political party means loyalty to it; then the
Word of God or the common good pass into the background or are looked upon only
as tools to exalt the party. The party, then, becomes an idol to whom honor and
tribute are to be given, and we know that idols are puppets of the adversary
prince under whose dominion the whole world lies (Jn.5.19, Eph.2: 1-3).
To be a
genuinely Christian party, association, or group, you must be able to declare
honestly: "Yours (of God) is the kingdom (government sovereignty), power
and glory (recognition, merit, praise)" ( Mt. 6. 13) And for this to be
true, they must, within these instances, always constitute a majority and act
in a unanimous block so that their decisions are previously defined, without
allowing in the analysis of the same to intervene unbelievers, because they
ignore or are inconsistent with the Word of the Kingdom.
Once in the
exercise of their functions, without losing their identity and autonomy,
"having favor with all people" (Acts 2:47), they will be able to
"obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29) and be part of the fulfillment
of the promise that in Christ all nations would be blessed (Galatians 3: 8)
because they will seek good for all, but especially for those of the family of
faith (Galatians 6:10).
