Conflict can be good. God himself engages in conflict. In fact, the Bible is a book about God entering into conflict in order to save us. He comes humbly, in the person of Christ, and fights on our behalf against the ravages of sin. He suffers, dies, and is raised as the victor over sin and death. He calls us to imitate him as we engage in conflict with others. Godly conflict is an act of compassion!
