People Are Losing Trust in Politicians

The year 2024 brought more national elections than any other year in recorded history. Yet confidence in political leaders continues to diminish.

Surveys in the United States show that many people believe “most politicians are motivated by selfish reasons” rather than a genuine desire to serve the public. Younger generations express similar doubts. Reports note that teenagers care deeply about issues but feel politicians fail to represent them. Other polls suggest that young adults place more trust in online creators than in elected officials.

People long for a better future — and for leaders who are truly dependable.

Be careful who you trust

A cautious approach makes sense. The Bible encourages thoughtful evaluation rather than accepting every claim without question. It highlights the importance of checking information carefully, especially when emotions run high or messages spread quickly.

Even sincere politicians face limits. Their authority, lifespan, and ability to solve deep-rooted problems are all constrained. The Bible therefore warns against placing complete confidence in human leaders, because no person can provide lasting rescue.

A leader you can trust

The Bible points to a different kind of leadership. It describes Jesus Christ as a capable, trustworthy King appointed by God. According to the Bible, Jesus rules God’s Kingdom — a real government based in heaven.

It presents Jesus as a leader who acts with perfect justice and has the power to accomplish what human governments cannot. It also outlines what God’s Kingdom will achieve and why it offers a solid foundation for hope.
