On Sunday March 22, 2026, President Donald Trump told fellow Republicans that they should not reach an agreement on funding the Department of Homeland Security until Democrats in Congress approve a bill, known as the Save America Act, that requires people registering to vote to provide proof of U.S. citizenship. Donald Trump told them, “Make this one for Jesus, OK. Make this one for Jesus. That’s what I tell them.”
Urging members of Congress to pass any federal bill “for Jesus” is fundamentally wrong because it reflects the very union of church and state—and the loss of religious liberty—that prophecy warns will take place in the last days. The government’s God-given role is to protect life, liberty, and justice—not to enact laws “in Jesus’ name.” When the head of state pressures legislators to act on explicitly religious grounds, civil authority crosses a sacred boundary, stepping into a realm that belongs only to God and to the individual conscience.
The Sunday law will be proposed for the very same reasons the President is using here—“for Jesus,” for morality, for national healing, for family values, to appease God’s wrath in times of crisis, or to restore so-called “Christian” principles within society. God has warned that such developments would take place. History consistently shows that whenever church and state unite—whether in medieval Europe or in more modern expressions of “Christian nationalism”—the result is the same: pressure and, ultimately, persecution against those who cannot in good conscience comply.
“The dignitaries of church and State will unite to bribe, persuade, or compel all classes to honor the Sunday. The lack of divine authority will be supplied by oppressive enactments. Political corruption is destroying love of justice and regard for truth; and even in free America, rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance” (Great Controversy, p. 592).
