Biblical Principles Which Bless Nations

Biblical Principles
which bless any country
By Dr. Peter Hammond

We want God to bless our nation
Therefore we want a civil government which:
1. Recognises God as the highest source of
authority.

2. Is committed to upholding the right to life of
the innocent – including pre-born babies.

3. Is committed to upholding human dignity
and moral standards.

4. Shows love and concern for our neighbours by
upholding human dignity and moral standards.

5. Protects people from the exploitation and
abuse of pornography.

6. Effectively deters crime by prompt and
appropriate punishment of criminals.

7. Respects parental responsibility for the education of
their children and therefore parental authority over
schools, teachers and textbooks.

Foundational Principles which God blesses.
This is what we should stand for:
1. The Bible is the revealed Word of God – perfect
and complete, inspired and inerrant.

2. The Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ “God from God,
Light from Light, True God from True God; begotten
not made, of one substance with the Father.
Through Him all things were made.” (Nicean Creed)

3. Salvation by
the grace of
God alone,
based upon
the blood
Atonement
of Christ’s death
upon the Cross
of Calvary
– received by
Faith.

7. The Right to protection from the exploitation
and abuse of pornography.

8. Christian Responsibility to be ‘salt and light’ in
society, to honour God and to love our neighbour.

9. The Lordship of Jesus Christ in all areas of
life. “All authority in heaven and on the earth
has been given to Me.” Matt 28:18

10.The fulfillment of the Great Commission to “… make
disciples of all the nations … teaching them to obey
all that I have commanded you.” Matt 28:19

Pray
“I urge then, first of all, that requests, prayers,
intercession and thanksgiving be made for … all
those in authority, that you may live peaceful and
quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” 1 Tim 2:1-2

Repent
“If My people, who are called by My Name, will
humble themselves and pray and seek My face and
turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from
heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14

Expose Evil
“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of
darkness but rather expose them.” Ephesians 5:11

Improve the Community
“… see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem is in ruins,
and its gates have been burned with fire. Come,
let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no
longer be in disgrace.” Nehemiah 2:17

Seek Justice
“… Stop doing wrong, learn to do justice …”
Isaiah 1:16-17

Oppose ungodly rulers
“…you have been weighed in the scales and found
wanting.” Daniel 5:27

Uphold Christian standards
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt looses
its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is
no longer good for anything, except to be thrown
out and trampled by men.” Matthew 5:13

Disciple the Nations
“… make disciples of all the nations … teaching
them to obey everything that I have commanded
…” Matthew 28:19-20

Select God-fearing leaders
“But select capable men from all the people – men
who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest
gain – appoint them as officials …” Exodus 18:21
