Resolving Conflict God's Way: Christ and Our Conflict

No matter who you are, you will face conflict especially if you are a Christian. In learning how to handle the conflict that will inevitably arise in our lives, we may come across questions like:

• What steps should I take in the midst of a conflict?
• What is God’s purpose in conflict?
• Is repentance necessary for forgiveness and reconciliation to take place?
• How do I admonish someone?
• What does it mean to forgive someone?

To answer these questions, we must adopt a wider view of conflict. First, we can consider Christ and our conflict.

Three Points about Christ and Our Conflict

1. Conflict is an ancient problem.
2. All conflict is ultimately and only resolved through the Cross.
3. All conflict we experience shows our need for Christ.
