A statesman who acknowledges the Creator’s instruction manual—the Bible—advances the Kingdom of God on earth by aligning governance, leadership, and public service with biblical principles. Here's how this acknowledgment typically manifests: 1. Recognizing Divine Authority A statesman begins by accepting that ultimate authority belongs to God. The Bible is seen not just as a religious text, but as a divine guide for righteousness, justice, and moral governance (e.g., Proverbs 3:5–6; Romans 13:1). 2. Upholding Biblical Values in Policy He or she promotes laws and policies rooted in biblical ethics—such as justice (Micah 6:8), care for the poor and vulnerable (James 1:27), integrity (Proverbs 11:3), and the sanctity of life (Genesis 1:27). 3. Modeling Servant Leadership Jesus taught that leadership is service (Mark 10:43–45). A statesman reflecting this prioritizes the welfare of the people over personal power or ambition, mirroring Christlike humility and stewardship. 4. Promoting Peace and Reconciliation The Bible calls believers to be peacemakers (Matthew 5:9) and ministers of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18–20). A statesman may champion unity, justice, and healing in divided societies. 5. Encouraging Righteousness Nationally A biblical worldview views national righteousness as critical to a nation's health (Proverbs 14:34). A God-honoring statesman might work to foster a culture where biblical morality is not just private but public. 6. Relying on Prayer and Divine Guidance Acknowledging the Bible means recognizing the need for continual prayer, divine wisdom, and dependence on God in decision-making (James 1:5; Psalm 119:105). 7. Fulfilling the Cultural Mandate and Great Commission A biblical statesman sees governance as a platform to steward creation responsibly (Genesis 1:28) and to create conditions where the Gospel can flourish (Matthew 28:19–20), promoting justice and freedom for all. #KSA
