Attention CHRISTian!
The Bible simply and clearly says that we (believers) are God's children and Christ's ambassadors. Because of this, we should not be passive. Instead, we should learn to stand on life's issues. We are salt and light, bringing in God's colours and flavours to this bland, tasteless world we in which we live in but don't belong.We all have a role to play in letting Christ's light shine in the darkness.
"And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. So we are Christ's ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, 'Come back to God!' For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ." (2 Corinthians 5:18-21)
"Reconciliation" means to make right, to heal, to bring together. The "world" means everyone . . . . every culture, every ethnicity, every color, every race, every language, every tribe (Revelation 7:9). We have been given the task as ambassadors to represent Christ to everyone and to make every effort to bring them to Christ!
If we are really praying, "on earth as it is in heaven" than His will is for all peoples to be one as He and the Father are one (John 17). I know it will get better. The bible says so . . .in eternity. However, we . . . His people . . . who are called by His Name . . . right here and now . . .need to humble ourselves and take a stand . . . . for Him!
No Republican . . .No Democrat . . .No organization or movement but that of God and His people . . . . as one!
