War is a difficult subject. One that will bring about very strong feelings on every side. Let’s take a look at what God’s Word says about war.
“The purpose of all wars, is peace.” – Augustine “Discipleship is always an inescapable war between the kingdom of self and the Kingdom of God.” “Onward Christian soldiers! Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. Christ, the royal Master, Leads against the foe; Forward into battle, See His banners go.” “To be prepared for war i...
First and foremost, the Bible is very clear that all mankind is created as Imago Dei, the Image of God. This alone makes all human life extremely precious. 1. Genesis 1:26-27 “Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock...
The Bible tells us of a great many wars. God many times ordered the Israelites into war against their enemies. He even would sometimes order the Israelite army to slaughter all the inhabitants of certain people groups. He created people, and He can choose to take them out at any time He pleases. For He is God and we are not. We have all committed t...
In His mercy, He has established governing authorities to protect the law abiding citizens and to punish evildoers. The government should only be involved in its God-given realm of authority. Anything outside protecting the law abiding citizens and punishing evildoers is outside its realm and it has no business there. 9. 1 Peter 2:14 “And to the go...

God has established His people, and He wants them completely set apart. So He showed us on a large scale what that means. He also used war to show us how seriously He takes any sin. All in all,...
In the New Testament we see fewer depictions of war, but it is still discussed. God shows us that war is still going to be a part of life here on earth. We can also see that God encourages us to protect ourselves with enough force to stop someone. 20. Luke 3:14 “What should we do?” asked some soldiers. John replied, “Don’t extort money or make fals...
Some believers hold to a Just War Theory. This is when there is a CLEAR just cause. All aggression is highly condemned and that defensive war is the only legitimate war. It must also have just intention – peace is the goal, not revenge or conquest. A Just War also must be a last resort, be given a formal declaration, with limited objectives. This m...
There are a few verses that some Christians hold to in order to claim Christian Pacifism. But these verses are clearly taken out of context and much of the rest of Scripture is avoided entirely. Pacifism is not biblical. Jesus even commanded that His disciples go and sell their extra cloak so that they could buy a sword. At the time, Jesus was send...
There is a war going on in Heaven. And Christ has already won it. Satan was expelled and Christ defeated him, sin and death on the Cross. Christ will come again to claim those that are His and to cast Satan and his angel into the pit forever. 27. Romans 8:37 “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” 28. John 18...

Lord Jesus, with you fighting our battles, faith, hope, and love are the order of the day—not fear, anger, and despair. We are especially grateful you fought and won the most important conflict we’ll ever face—the war for our hearts and our eternity. The Gospel is the end of the war between us and God.
