Christianity is an essential component of public policy; it remains the oldest surviving testament of political history—containing eternal truths that have since proven to be prophetic and directly applicable in contemporary polity. Christianity relies on Scripture for intrinsic guidance, used to preclude internal conflict and impose moral obligations on those who place their faith fully into developing a relationship with God. The New Testament (NT) does not decree that all men should be legislated by government to be Christians—instead the NT restrains the depraved intentions of each man, and limits every Christian’s jurisdiction to an enumerated doctrine.
