The Duty Of The Church(Christians)To The Nation:

Go ye, says Jesus, to his ministers, and teach all nations to observe all things, whatsoever I have commanded you.[Matthew 28:19,20.]

Nations are not independent of God. Man into whatever relation he may enter is a subject of moral government. The thousands of individuals, who, when united together, compose a nation, have not improperly, by political and ethical writers, been denominated a moral person; consequently must be under his law, who is emphatically styled king of nations.[Jeremiah 10:7.]

Nations may be guilty. They may, they do transgress the laws of right. Should not then the voice of warning, from the Sanctuary, be directed to them? If sin may be prevented—if repentance may be produced—if the honor or dishonor of God be concerned in the affairs of nations—if the happiness and duty of man be connected with political movements, without doubt the stewards of Divine truth should dispense it faithfully. The watchmen on Zion’s walls should lift up their voice were like a trumpet. It is their duty to say to the king and to the queen humble yourselves, and consequently to state to them their sins.

In the pages of inspiration, the spirit of God has given directions, concerning the management of national affairs.[Romans 13:1,6; Deuteronomy 17, chapter; Psalm 2:10-12, and other places.] Are these salutary directions, of Israel’s holy one, too profane to be touched by the ministers of the Sanctuary? Are not the kings, and the judges of the earth, commanded to yield submission to the Son? If this be denied, shall the ministers of Jesus be silent?

Political corruption is a universal phenomenon which, even though the times, ideas, laws and cultures of different countries have evolved, has remained unchanged since ancient times. As long as we can remember, political corruption has accompanied the evolution of human kind through its different cultural stages or civilizations.

Early referrals to the concept date back to the Pharaonic Egypt period, with later evidence indicating that Roman politics hit the bottom due to its corruption in the Republic times of Roman civilization (70 and 50 BC), and as a result the legal code “Twelve Tables” being passed, which imposed the death penalty on judges who accepted bribes and politicians who attempted to influence election results through bribery or other forms of “soft power”.

This concept lies in the ability to shape others’ preferences based on culture and intangible assets, such as the credibility and trustworthy of individuals and institutions.
As the political corruption concept is susceptible to ambiguity, we must specify it.

Political corruption can be defined as any act or legal or illegal omission of someone who, based on a public office (elected or appointed) embracing political positions, but also on a position in a labor union or business association, favors a particular interest that causes public (not necessarily monetary) harm. Hence political corruption can be for private and group enrichment, and also for power preservation, purposes. According to, these two forms of political corruption are often connected.

The concept given for political corruption highlights two relevant points: first, that which motivates political corruption; that is, the search for self-enrichment, ego and power maintenance (as opposed to a non-corrupt political leader’s concern for citizenship’s well-being); second, the consequences of political corruption: national impoverishment, institutional decay, arbitrary power, authoritarian tendencies and less freedom and democracy.

Political corruption decelerates social growth and economic activity, diverts resources from basic services, reduces innovation and, consequently, also the introduction of new products and technologies because innovators and entrepreneurs usually lack political connection. In general, foreign direct investments decrease, and national firms’ value drops. Thus, industry must pay more to lenders given the perceived political instability impacting the credit market. At those countries where the state institutions are weaker, corruption is often linked to violence, whereas in the so called mature democracies, corruption means the increase of economic and social insecurity and also the opportunity for the privilege to get richer at the expense of everyone else.
