What does the Bible say about peace with the world?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that Jesus did not come to bring peace with the world, but rather division due to differing beliefs.

In Matthew 10:34, Jesus explicitly states, "Think not that I am come to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." This indicates that while Christ brings spiritual peace to His followers, He does not promise peace in the sense of harmony with the world. The peace He offers is fundamentally different from what many might expect; it is peace with God and peace of conscience, rather than the absence of conflict with those opposed to the gospel.
