Christians in Politics – Right or Wrong?

Christians in Politics – Right or Wrong?


Politics as a profession is generally devoted to governing, and political affairs. It is a process by which groups of people make decisions, and consists of social relations involving authority or power. It also refers to the regulation of a political unit, and the methods and tactics used to formulate and apply policy.
In some countries however, the political system is termed corrupt, and this, as a result of acts done by such people who are driven by self ambition rather than the success of their nation, leaves a stigma on politics. Consequently, many Christians tend to disassociate themselves from politics, while those involved in it, who want to make a difference, are constantly faced with the temptation of giving in to corruption.
The Bible says in Proverbs 14:34 “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people“. Should Christians then be involved in politics, in such nations where politics is corrupt?
