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

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible states that the gospel brings division, as seen in Luke 12:51, where Jesus indicates that He came not to give peace, but division.

In Luke 12:49-51, Jesus makes it clear that His coming to the earth would not lead to a harmonious existence but rather to division. This division occurs because the gospel stands opposed to anything contrary to its message. The gospel of Christ, being intolerant of sin, naturally sets believers at odds with the secular world and those who reject its truth. This reality underscores the nature of God's call to His people; they must prioritize their allegiance to Christ above familial or societal unity when necessary.
