ArchivedHow to stop terrorism?Terrorism is evil. And evil can only be overcome by the love of God (Romans 12:21; Ephesians 6:10-20). Therefore, only the love of God can break the cycle of hate and revenge, and stop terrorism. God’s love is seen in Jesus’ passion and death. When we offended Him and killed Him, He did not sue us or take revenge or kill us. Instead, He the victim paid the price for our sins by His own life (Matthew 26:28). In order to stop terrorism, therefore, those who are reborn in Christ’s, like Christ, must impart Christ’s life of unconditional love to the terrorist. We can impart Christ’s love to them only by showing them Christ’s sacrificial love in our acts (Matthew 5:16). We should therefore, assist the terrorists in over coming the hate in their heart. If they are suffering from poverty we should give them humanitarian help, without any string attached. This will build trust between the two sides. Then, it will be possible to negotiate a just solution for problems that separate us from them. Only God (who is love) is truly just (Matthew 19:17). True justice therefore, is love. A just solution is therefore, found only in love. A just solution, therefore, would be to give more to the other side than they demand (Luke 6:29-30), and demand less for one’s own side. Such an attitude will further increase the trust between the two sides and bring peace. Furthermore, in the long run both sides will gain; because, absence of war will bring major savings of life and resources. The solution outlined herein, may not sound very practical, especially if there is centuries of animosity and bloodshed. However, because God is love, we must never underestimate the power of love. |
