AND WE EAGERLY AWAIT A SAVIOR FROM THERE,

Explanation:

We Christians will one day experience all the special privileges of our heavenly citizenship because we belong to Christ.

Let us not be so tied to this life that we would be sorry to see Christ return. The phrase “weak mortal bodies” does not imply any negative attitude toward the human body.

However, the bodies we will receive when we are raised from the dead will be glorious, like Christ’s resurrected body. Those who struggle with pain, physical limitations, or disabilities can have wonderful hope in the resurrection.

God desires for us as believers to set our sights on heaven where our citizenship lies rather than to waste our lives wantonly wishing for worldly wants. For example, any people-group that claims their nationality places them under Jesus Christ’s favour and blessing deny the Gospel’s truth.

The definition of nationalism is that it is an ideology "based on the premise that the individual’s loyalty and devotion to the nation-state surpass other individual or group interests.”

According to Christianity.com, a Christian is “a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ.”

As contradictory as these two terms seem, Christian nationalism attempts to fuse the standards of Christianity with the ideals of nationalism. This movement is founded on the belief that God has bestowed a unique privilege and responsibility upon a particular country to represent Christ.

Therefore, Christian nationalists consider it their duty to promote and defend the doctrines of the Christian faith at all costs and in every public arena. In other words trying to force people to get into Christianity with such extreme policies in the political world.

Everyone has their own choice to life (imgflip.com/i/732rvj ) but we highly advise people to follow the [mainstream] Christian faith so people can be saved not through words but through action (including not being violent) (imgflip.com/i/732s61 )
