People need to grow in relationship with God, whose love constantly prompts to transform people.
God, who is heard throughout the Bible, calls for justice for the widows, orphans and aliens who were oppressed by the powers of the day. Therefore the involvement in political life is something that Christians should not avoid.
A true Christian should help those in need, regardless of religious affiliation.
