He knows our heart. He does not need to wait to see if our repentance is true. He does however discipline us. This discipline is a loving discipline. A discipline that helps us become more like Him. It is not our job to make this a righteous nation. It is our mission to lead others to Christ. Jesus has come to gather all that the Father has given Him. None that have been given to Him will be lost.
Jesus said he went ahead to make a place for us. That place is not here on this earth. On this earth we are aliens. This is not our home. Our mission as Christians is to make disciples of all the nations. This is done by baptizing not by voting.
Worth repeating.....”it is not our job to make this a righteous nation”. That line brings clarity. Thank you.
