That One Is Mine

In times of political tension and societal uncertainty, Jesus' teaching about rendering to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's provides profound guidance for believers. This principle acknowledges the legitimacy of human government while affirming our ultimate allegiance to God. Christians are free to be active citizens, participate in politics, and show patriotism while maintaining their primary identity as citizens of heaven.

The foundational truth is that everything ultimately belongs to God - all creation, every authority, every government, and our very identities. This understanding eliminates fear because believers belong completely to God, and nothing can separate them from His love. The ultimate battle is already won, and God's purposes cannot be thwarted. This reality empowers Christians to engage in society without fear, standing firm in their identity as God's children while trusting in His sovereignty over all things.
