As we eagerly await our heavenly garden, we must not neglect the land into which we have been sent into exile (1 Peter 1:1). Instead, like the Israelites in Babylon, we should seek the good of the communities God has placed us in—including the good of our civil governments (Jeremiah 29:4–9). The civic task of the Christian, then, is threefold: first, to display the glory of the Kingdom of God as the unsurpassable alternative to false hope in the kingdoms of men; second, to declare the truth about God to the world and to direct civil government toward its God-given purpose; and, third, to pray for and work toward a government under which godly living may flourish. May the Lord raise up more Christians to boldly proclaim the truth of God’s gospel and lay the foundation for a province that promotes godliness.
