What Does God’s Word Say About Going to War? I want to live in a warless world, but this world will never be without war until Jesus Christ comes and reigns in perfect peace. What are we to do? Every Christian should be a good citizen. Every Christian should be obedient to the higher powers. Every Christian should understand that going to war is sometimes the necessity of nations in defending the freedoms and the way of life they enjoy. We must pray and seek God’s face. We must pray for our President and for those in our armed forces. We need to pray for our enemies. We need to ask God to help us as Christians to speak in a way that is in agreement with the clear teachings we find in the Word of God. Let us pray earnestly for our nation. At this time more than ever, we must attend church faithfully and seek God’s face. May God help us to understand what He says in His Word about going to war. As we talk about this subject, let us not speak from our feelings only, but from the clear teaching of the Word of God.
