What does the Bible say about war and conflict?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that wars come from sin and human lust for what belongs to others.

In James 4:1, we learn that wars and conflicts arise from desires that battle within individuals, showcasing that the root of strife is sin. Genesis 14 marks the first mention of war in scripture, where it is not just an event but a consequence of human greed. As demonstrated in the life of Abram, conflicts are inevitable in a sin-cursed world, reflecting the broader biblical truth of mankind's fallen nature and the resulting turmoil throughout history.
