Christianity is not a retreating faith. Scripture presents God as a God of order and truth, and it consistently calls His people to uphold both, even when doing so is uncomfortable. The Bible is clear that civil law and national authority are not accidents or moral failures. The apostle Paul writes that governing authorities exist because God allows them to exist and that their role is to restrain wrongdoing (Romans 13:1–2). That does not mean every law is perfect or every government righteous, but it does mean that law itself is legitimate. A nation that refuses to enforce its own laws is not practicing biblical compassion. It is abandoning responsibility. Peter echoes this when he instructs believers to submit to governing authorities because they exist to punish wrongdoing and commend what is right (1 Peter 2:13–14). Accountability is not hatred. Enforcement is not oppression. A system with no consequences is not merciful. It is unstable, and instability always harms the most vulnerable first. The Bible’s commands to care for foreigners are often quoted as if they erase borders or law. They do not. In Scripture, foreigners are protected, but they are also held to the same standards as everyone else. God explicitly states that the same law applies to both the foreigner and the native-born (Leviticus 24:22; Numbers 15:16). Biblical compassion means dignity within justice, not exemption from accountability. Justice, Scripture teaches, is what gives a nation stability. Proverbs states plainly that justice strengthens a country, while corruption and distortion tear it down (Proverbs 29:4). The Bible never treats chaos as holy or disorder as loving. A nation that cannot define its boundaries, enforce its laws, or speak honestly about the realities of unchecked immigration cannot protect its citizens, legal immigrants, or those seeking refuge through lawful means. We have immigration laws for a reason. Not enforcing them is not compassionate. It’s actually disorder. Order is a God thing. Chaos and disorder on the other hand is devil thing. Please don’t tell me as Christians we can’t support secure borders and an immigration system that provides for the welfare of its citizens first. Because it’s simply not true.
