People who go to war and fight in war, taking up arms in the intent of killing, do not have
Jesus' heart even if they say they are a Christian. You cannot be a part of the armies of this
world, and also be in the army of God. People' hearts are hard. They have no love when they
are without Jesus Christ. That is why they kill their neighbour, and they kill their
neighbouring enemies, when their hearts are hardened before God. Jesus gives us a flesh
heart, and takes out our heart of stone, when we turn to him. We no longer fight the wars
of this world, fight for national pride, fight for our nation, because we no longer belong
to the world, but have passed to a different kingdom. A kingdom that is eternal, who Jesus
is king of. And we are now busy serving HIS kingdom, taking up spiritual warfare against
the enemy. Satan brings people together to fight each other, because their hearts are
dark and he can use them. And God allows people to bring upon themselves their own destruction
according to their sin if they will not repent. But the person who follows Jesus and obeys
Jesus, gets transformed in the heart, and he no longer goes those evil hardened paths.
He no longer takes up arms against his enemy, but he OBEYS the WORDS OF JESUS. Jesus said,
'Do unto others (enemy) as you would have them do unto you. If someone strikes you on
one cheek, offer him the other cheek also.' So what Jesus was talking about, was not striking
back to those who strike you. Rather being at peace and living for the gospel instead.
Because Jesus did not come to take up arms and fight, rather he came to die on the cross.
So we should have like minds, that we have also come to die to this world, and its ways,
and our sins, and our pride, and our lusts, and even to our nation. We are no longer a
PEOPLE and a CULTURE anymore. We have died to all that if we belong to Christ. We are
not subjects of the kingdom of God, we are sons of God through Jesus Christ if you indeed
KNOW him. The problem is many Christians don't KNOW JESUS, and that is why their hearts are
hardened, and they condone war, and use the bible to support their cause. Don't be deceived
dear friends. Get to know Jesus. He is only a prayer away. Jesus bless you.
