Summary/Abstract: Christianity, over time, has adopted both pro and against positions depending on the historical situation, the position of the state and, last but not least,according to the opinion adopted and promoted by the Church. In this research,I will examine the legislation on the protection of human rights in order to answer the question around which the entire work will be built: “Is the Word of God present in the sphere of the state and in the other sovereign spheres through legislation on the protection of human rights?”. The theory of sovereign spheres promoted by Abraham Kuyper is the starting point of the research, followed by an analytical study on the origin and the role of the state,as well as the origin of human rights, ending with an answer to the question already mentioned.
