What Is the Reason for Christians' Conflicts?

Published: May 13, 2024 Β· Reviewed: July 1, 2024

JOHN 13:34-35 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Christians are known more for their disputes and conflicts with other Christians than for their love.

What is the reason?

People who quarrel are acting immaturely. Adults shouldn't argue with each other over trivial matters, like children do.

The devil uses conflict among Christians as a means of access to people. Do you truly intend to allow the devil in?

JAMES 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

God's main focus right now is getting us ready to live immortal life with Him. He wants for us to become like Jesus. (Romans 8:29). We must develop the ability to withstand the pressure to act unlovingly if we are to imitate Jesus.

SAY THIS: I will live in love with the support of God. I reject conflict and violence with other Christians.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Inspire us to embody the commandment given by Jesus, to love one another as He loved us. Help us to rise above disputes and conflicts, to act maturely and not let trivial matters divide us. Protect us from the devil's attempts to sow discord among us. Remind us of Your everlasting love, as shown through the sacrifice of Your only Son. Guide us in our journey to become more like Jesus, to withstand pressures and to act lovingly. We commit to living in love, rejecting conflict and violence. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
