By Carlos M. Vazquez II - 210120-D-WD757-1720, CC BY 2.0 Kamala Harris has a unique spiritual background. She grew up in a family with Christian and Hindu influences. Her mother introduced her to Hindu traditions, while Kamala also attended a Black Baptist church. She often talks about values like justice and serving others, inspired by her Christian upbringing. She’s even quoted the Parable of the Good Samaritan, using it to highlight how important it is to treat everyone like a neighbor, no matter where they come from (Religion News).
Her emphasis on equality and compassion is clear in her speeches, where she often focuses on the need to uplift marginalized communities. Kamala has drawn on these themes to inspire her work in public service. But when it comes to women’s reproductive rights, there’s a major clash with traditional Christian teachings. Harris supports access to abortion, which stands against the biblical view that life is sacred from conception. This difference has caused some Christians to question how her beliefs align with biblical values (BR Now).
The Gospel Message: Good News for Everyone
Now, Christianity teaches that true salvation comes from faith in Jesus alone. Jesus himself said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). That message doesn’t really line up with the broader spiritual perspectives Kamala often talks about, but it’s central to Christian faith. It’s a reminder that having a relationship with God isn’t about our efforts but about trusting in what Jesus did for us.
What Sin Is and Why It Matters
In the Bible, the Ten Commandments are like a mirror, showing us where we mess up. Here are some examples:
But here’s the best part: Even though we all mess up, God’s love is bigger than our mistakes. Jesus died to pay the price for our sins, offering forgiveness to anyone willing to turn from their ways and trust Him. And that’s good news for Kamala Harris, and for all of us.
Why Talk About the Ten Commandments?
Some of you might wonder why I keep bringing up the Ten Commandments. Well, the Bible says the law is like a “schoolmaster” (Galatians 3:24). It helps us see where we’ve gone wrong and why we need Jesus. It’s not meant to save us but to point out our need for a Savior. The law is good when it’s used for what it was intended—to help us see our need for grace (1 Timothy 1:8).
Let’s Pray for Kamala Harris to Receive Forgiveness
While we don’t fully know where Kamala Harris stands in her relationship with God, it’s always a good idea to pray for her. Let’s pray that she experiences God’s love in a real way and understands the full message of the gospel. And as we pray for her, let’s take a moment to reflect on our own need for that same grace and forgiveness.

In the Bible, the Ten Commandments are like a mirror, showing us where we mess up. Here are some examples:
- Lying: Even little white lies go against the 9th Commandment.
- Stealing: Taking anything that’s not ours, no matter how small, breaks the 8th Commandment.
- Lustful Thoughts: Jesus taught that even thinking about someone in a lustful way is like committing adultery in your heart (Matthew 5:28).
But here’s the best part: Even though we all mess up, God’s love is bigger than our mistakes. Jesus died to pay the price for our sins, offering forgiveness to anyone willing to turn from their ways and trust Him. And that’s good news for Kamala Harris, and for all of us.
