While the Christian community believes that the Incarnation of the Lord Christ was the most profound and wonderful occurrence to grace the known world – impacting history as it did – many Christians are ignorant of the Incarnation’s total impact, especially as it addresses issues of politics, law and governance.
No Christian should ever be moved to think of the Incarnation in the narrow terms of individual salvation whatsoever. If not for Christianity, tyranny and totalitarianism would be the norm for the nations of the world.
The Westminster Confession of Faith understood the total ramifications of the Incarnation as it deals with politics, law, and government when it was written.
