Trump: Why is he supported? Is he ‘playing’ Christians?

When an evangelical Christian is asked to summarise the message of the Bible they often turn to John’s Gospel: ‘For God so loved the world…’. It is a compelling verse because it expresses the need for a personal response to Christ as our Saviour.

In the prayer He taught us, Jesus gives us another: ‘Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.’ Jesus is not only our Saviour; He also is our king. His purpose is to establish God’s rule and reign on earth. Following Jesus means that you are part of this movement.
