The Role of Church and Government in Promoting Righteousness

It is clear from the holy scriptures that God instituted government as a means. Through this means, God would be all in all.

God Purpose for His Institution of Government

It is clear from the holy scriptures that God instituted government as a means. Through this means, God would be all in all. This happens through the exaltation of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ created all things for Him; that is, He created all thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers. Sin, death, and corruption usurped Christ’s authority. Christ’s death, burial, resurrection, and ascension to the Father’s right hand grant Him preeminence in all things. It pleased the Father that all fulness (of these things by creation and eternal reconciliation) should dwell in Jesus Christ. Through Christ, the Father is reconciling people by the blood of His Son. He is regenerating them. He is also baptizing them into the body of His Son.

This body of Christ is the habitation of God through the Spirit.
