In the bill, biblical passages are referenced which asserts that Christ holds all power in heaven and on earth (Matt. 28:18) and is the ruler of all. The resolution also has some prophetic implications as well, making it clear that Christ will someday return again.
Christ is said to have received power, and glory, and a kingdom so that all people, tribes and tongues shall serve Him (Dan. 7:14), including this great state; and WHEREAS, the Father is said to give to Christ all nations and the utmost parts of the earth…
The resolution also acknowledges that the original writers of North Dakota’s Constitution said “We, the people of North Dakota, grateful to Almighty God,” meaning that the Lord is king over not just a few, but over all the people of the state.
/**/This call for placing Christ above all else is about the “great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony,” according to the bill.
By recognizing God’s sovereignty, Americans can find unity, a moral compass, and a renewed sense of purpose. Reaffirming these core principles just may be the way we can ignite a revival of compassion and righteousness in our nation, leading us back to the heart of what it means to be truly free.
