Living in a World of War and Violence - What Should a Christian Do?

Jesus’ principles regarding war and violence are applicable even today. In most countries, a Christian is under pressures of governments to bear arms. Yet there are several ways in which you can live according to Jesus’ example. Your actual course of action may depend on your environment and your personal background, but there are at least eight options for a Christian to consider: moving, staying, consoling, confessing/witnessing, healing, reconciling, risking one's life, and giving your life.
