Therefore, for many black people, coming to faith in Christ requires addressing this objection not only in and for one’s own self, but also for one’s peers. Providentially, the Bible does not leave us to answer this question in the dark. This is exactly what Jesus meant when He said: Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. (Matthew 10:34–36)
