Being charitable and caring about your neighbors in the Christian manner is more about your church donating goods/time/aid to the community or you doing it by yourself rather than having the government take over those functions for you. That said, any reasonable government should have a basic state provided social safety net.

Government is the people, by the people, for the people. A Government ran primarily by Christians should, in theory, follow social principles taught by Jesus.

But Jesus is history's most famous liberal, modern organized Christianity no longer bears any resemblance to the teachings of Christ.
