Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Luke 2:14
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:34

Response
Jesus Christ brings peace to the hearts of those who know Him. However, most of the world rejects Christ and even becomes hostile regarding Him, and so Christ’s coming into the world caused much division. Christ is a God of peace to those who know Him and a God of war to those who are opposed to Him.
