What does the Bible say about Jesus bringing division?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus stated that He came not to send peace but division, reflecting the reality of varied responses to the Gospel.

In Luke 12:49-53, Jesus makes a startling declaration, expressing that His mission will result in division rather than universal peace. This is reflective of the varied responses to the Gospel. While the message of Christ offers peace to those who accept it, it also inevitably causes division among those who reject it. This confirms that the Gospel's transformative power can lead to conflict between those who embrace God's truth and those who remain attached to their sinful ways.
