God's Border Policy: What Does the Bible Tell Us About Immigration?
What does the Bible really say about immigration? In this special presentation, author and theologian Cody Cook explores the biblical framework for understanding immigration, foreigners, and national identity — going far deeper than political talking points. Hosted by the Libertarian Christian Institute, this video takes a theological deep dive into the Hebrew terms used for foreigners in the Old Testament (ger, nokri, zar, toshav), what the Law said about their rights, and how the New Testament reframes our understanding of borders and belonging through Christ.
Together, we ask:
Were foreigners always a threat, or were they part of God’s plan?
Can Christians support national borders while still loving the “stranger”?
Should immigration policy reflect biblical law, or is that a misuse of Scripture?
What does it mean to be a sojourner and citizen in God’s kingdom?
Whether you're conservative, progressive, or libertarian — this is for anyone who wants to engage Scripture seriously, think critically, and apply Christian ethics to modern questions about justice, identity, and the state.
