Is America a Christian Nation?

Contrary to what critics imply, a Christian nation is not one in which all citizens are Christians, or the laws require everyone to adhere to Christian theology, or all leaders are Christians, or any other such superficial measurement. As Supreme Court Justice David Brewer (1837-1910) explained:

America was “of all the nations in the world . . . most justly called a Christian nation” because Christianity “has so largely shaped and molded it.”

I. The Righteousness of a nation

A. Not by Good Works

2 Timothy 1:9a-cWho has saved us and called us with a

holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and

grace . . .

B. Not by Religious Deeds

Titus 3:5a-bNot by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy

He saved us . . .

C. But by Jesus Christ

2 Corinthians 5:21For He made Him who knew no sin to be

sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian.
