Bible Verses About Patriotism

When you enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, and you take possession of it and settle in it,

you are to take some of the firstfruits of all your produce from the soil of the land that the LORD your God is giving you and put them in a basket. Then go to the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for His Name,

to the priest who is serving at that time, and say to him, “I declare today to the LORD your God that I have entered the land that the LORD swore to our fathers to give us.”

Then the priest shall take the basket from your hands and place it before the altar of the LORD your God,

and you are to declare before the LORD your God, “My father was a wandering Aramean, and he went down to Egypt few in number and lived there and became a great nation, mighty and numerous.

But the Egyptians mistreated us and afflicted us, putting us to hard labor.

So we called out to the LORD, the God of our fathers; and the LORD heard our voice and saw our affliction, toil, and oppression.

Then the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great terror, signs, and wonders.

And He brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land that You, O LORD, have given me.” Then you are to place the basket before the LORD your God and bow down before Him.

Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your displeasure toward us.

Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?

Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?

Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.

I will listen to what God the LORD will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly.
