The Apostle Paul instructed "be followers of me even as I also am of Christ". Christian leaders are not to exemplify a set of rules and regulations, but rather exemplify life as "Christ followers", meaning that while we are not flawless nor can we be, we can and must deal with failures in a moral fashion: Seeking or extending forgiveness as incidents may require; being instruments of God's life transforming power of love; initiating fellowship to the less lovable to give hope to the downtrodden; and exemplifying that life in Christ Jesus is not about "self perfection" but about living in the liberating power of God's forgiveness and pardon as we choose to turn from what God calls sin and yielding control of our lives to His directive governance.
Leaders who live up to their responsibilities of moral examples encourage others who have faith in Christ Jesus as Lord that spiritual and moral success in this life is not only possible but is a very attainable reality, the result of which is a continually deepening fellowship with God as our ABBA Father as His adopted children!
Leaders who do not serve as moral examples do just the opposite, causing many to turn away in discouragement and disbelieving that they can be new creations of God in Christ Jesus, leaving them in a hopeless state of despair.

What is an evil person?
The Oxford dictionary defines 'evil' as morally bad or wicked; harmful or tending to harm, especially intentionally. So an evil person is someone who is morally bad or who intentionally causes harm. Defining a word in terms of another word or phrase raises the risk of having to then define the words used in the definition. I would suggest that "morally bad" is a quite different concept to "morally wrong". for example, even though some people see premarital sex as morally wrong, those who engage in premarital sex should not be seen as morally bad. An evil person could be a truly religious person or someone who pretends to be religious, or who wrongly believes himself or herself to be genuinely religious. It could be a non-religious person, such as an agnostic or atheist. In other words, a person can be an evil person regardless of religious beliefs.
Should religious leaders run for political office?
Religious leaders have enough experience with community services which could serve as their primary knowledge about people's needs. Admitting that it wouldn't compare to other politician's credibility, if we really think about it.. countries thriving in corruption doesn't necessarily need intellectual leaders.. but leaders with a strong moral character; built with dedication and honesty. A religious leader is a man for other people. It might work if he is also a political leader for the people. Not like many politicians.. who are only for themselves.
