What does the Bible say about division caused by the gospel?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that the gospel can cause division, even within families, due to differing beliefs and allegiances.

In Luke 12:49-53, Jesus explicitly states that he came to bring not peace, but division. He illustrates this division within households, noting that family members may find themselves at odds over faith in Christ. This division is the result of a spiritual transformation that can conflict with the values and beliefs held by those who do not share the same faith. The opposition faced by believers often stems from the inherent enmity of the fallen nature against God and his truth.
