America didn’t rise on “good vibes” or “enlightened philosophy.” It arose in Scripture.

Ten verses shaped this nation more than any political theory. And if we lose them, we lose the country.

Here’s the list and why it still matters.
(1/11)

Genesis 1:27 — The Imago Dei.

Before America had a Constitution, it had a conviction: every person bears God’s image. That truth created the idea of “unalienable rights.”

But it also sparked a battle we’re still fighting…
(2/11)

Exodus 20 — The Ten Commandments.

These weren’t “religious decorations.” They were the backbone of law, order, family, and truth.

Take them away, and everything collapses.
We’re watching that collapse in real time.
But there’s more…

Joshua 1:8 — Obey God’s Word and flourish.

The founders believed national success wasn’t random luck. It was tied to moral obedience.

We’ve traded that for moral chaos.
And it’s costing us more than we realize…

Psalm 127:1 — “Unless the Lord builds the house…”
America once believed nations rise or fall under God’s hand.

Today, we trust experts, bureaucrats, and influencers.
None of them can save us.

But one verse shaped our political system itself…
(5/11)

Isaiah 33:22 — Judge. Lawgiver. King.

This is where America got the separation of powers.
Three branches because God alone holds all three perfectly.

When men hold them all, tyranny follows.
Which leads to the next foundation…
(6/11)

Matthew 5–7 — The Sermon on the Mount.

These words shaped the American conscience for generations.

Humility. Integrity. Fidelity. Sacrifice.

We’ve replaced them with the algorithm.
But the heart of the law was summed up here…
(7/11)

Matthew 22:37–40 — Love God. Love your neighbor.

Early America called this virtue.
Today we call it “radical extremism.”

If you want to know why society is fracturing, start here.
But freedom itself came from another verse…
(8/11)

John 8:32 — “The truth will set you free.”

Not feelings. Not narratives.
Truth.

A nation that abandons truth cannot remain free.
And that brings us to the verse that held government in check…
(9/11)

Romans 13:1–7 — Government under God, not above Him.

Authority is real, but it’s limited.
A state that doesn’t answer to God will demand to be god.

America rose when it honored these verses.
It will fall if it forgets them.
