Many conservative Christians in America have been led to believe that Donald Trump is a committed Christian, yet I urge you not to be misled. He has presented himself as if he stands for Christian values, but when we look at his words and actions, we see a glaring discrepancy. He appears more interested in self-exaltation than in following the example of Christ, and he has manipulated Christians into giving him their votes.
The Bible tells us to observe the “fruit” in a person’s life. According to Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV), “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” These qualities are non-negotiable for a true believer, yet we repeatedly see Trump engaging in unkind rhetoric, promoting cruel or divisive policies, and belittling those who oppose him.
Donald Trump frequently flaunts his religious beliefs to appeal to conservative Christians, at times portraying himself as the chosen one sent by God. He once shared a video proclaiming that he was sent by God. Yet true faith calls for humility and meekness—virtues noticeably absent in his boastful rhetoric.
As Psalm 82:2 (NIV) says, “How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked?” We should ask ourselves whether his policies uphold justice or lean toward injustice.
Donald Trump’s actions mirror the kind of leaders the psalmist warned about—those who assert authority while neglecting true righteousness. Even if he insists he is a Christian, we must discern whether his life and choices align with Jesus’s example. Does he protect the vulnerable, or does he cast them aside? Does he act with generosity, or does he sow division? Does he live by biblical truth, or does he place himself above it?
The solution to this problem is recognizing that authentic faith is evidenced by consistent obedience to God’s Word. We must look beyond slogans and examine a person’s deeds. Jesus tells us, “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.” (Matthew 7:15 NIV) These are strong words, but they urge us to be cautious. We cannot let the noise of politics drown out the Holy Spirit’s guidance or make us ignore actions that are contrary to the gospel. A humble heart that seeks God’s will over personal ambition is the mark of a believer, not empty words or political showmanship.
Let us remember that true Christianity teaches respect for the downtrodden, compassion for the outsider, and fairness for all. When we see Christians being snooty, uncaring, or obsessed with personal status, we can be sure that we have drifted away from Christ’s example. We should stand against those who misuse faith as a shallow prop and instead honor leaders who genuinely live out biblical principles.
Let us pray:
“Almighty God, we ask for Your wisdom to recognize true discipleship. Give us discernment to see beyond words and notice the fruit of actions. Guard our hearts from deception, keep us focused on Your truth, and fill us with courage to stand for justice and compassion. May we remain steadfast in following You alone. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.”
