Perspective in Political Engagement: Assurance of Justice

The essence of political engagement should focus on the assurance of justice and reconciliation rather than merely lowering stakes for superficial harmony. True engagement stems from a belief that ultimate justice is inevitable, which allows individuals to navigate current political challenges without the fear of total failure. Historical figures like Mariah Stewart and Martin Luther King Jr. demonstrate that awareness of a just outcome enables resilience against immediate adversity, including violence and mockery. Their commitment to justice was not founded on inflating threats but on a profound faith in eventual positive change. This perspective encourages Christians and others to prioritize meaningful contributions to the community over transient online activism, ensuring that efforts are rooted in hope and active participation rather than resignation or anger.
