Genesis 1:4: “And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.” God “divided the light from the darkness.”
As soon as Christ the light of world (John 8:12) begins to glow in the heart of a new believer, He begins an inner dividing work, separating the clean from the unclean, spiritual things from carnal things. This naturally leads to an outer division among people.
In fact, Jesus said, “Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:” (Luke 12:51)
John 7:43 says, “ So there was a division among the people because of him.”
As it was in the very beginning, division follows when true light appears. Rather than be disturbed by it and oppose it, wise Christians will understand this to be the natural course of things and accept it.
Yes, some division is of God.
