photo by: Michael Browning The church is the holy nation under the new covenant by faith in Jesus Christ. Therefore, the church should practice holy nationalism. Nationalism is seeking the good and advancement of your "nation" (not in the sense of the modern nation-state but closer to ethnic people group). This is fine for all ethnic people groups. The problem is that all ethnic people groups seek to build a name for themselves (Gen 11:4) like the human people group did before they were separated and scatted by language. When self-exalting sin controls valid nationalistic responsibility then their initiatives seek to advance the good of one nation to the detriment or disregard for the other nations. The self-exalting nation sins by this group-self-centeredness. Nationalism easily goes astray.
