We&#8217;ll examine four primary principles, known as the &#8220;four G&#8217;s of peacemaking,&#8221; and discuss how they can be applied in our daily lives.<\/p>\n<h2>The Four G&#8217;s of Peacemaking<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Glorify God<\/h3>\n<p>    In a conflict situation, our primary concern should be to please and honor God (1 Corinthians 10:31). This means focusing on how we can glorify Him in the conflict rather than being solely concerned with being right or proving a point.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Get the Log Out<\/h3>\n<p>    Jesus teaches us to first remove the log in our own eye before helping others remove the speck in theirs (Matthew 7:5). This means acknowledging our part in the conflict and confessing our wrongdoings rather than focusing solely on the other person&#8217;s faults.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Go and Tell<\/h3>\n<p>    If we see a brother or sister caught in sin, we should approach them in a loving, gracious, and redemptive manner (Galatians 6:1). This means speaking the truth in love and helping them see their mistakes without condemning them.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Grace<\/h3>\n<p>    Jesus teaches us to extend grace to others, even when they have wronged us (Matthew 18:21-22). This means forgiving others as we have been forgiven by God and not holding grudges or seeking revenge.<\/p>\n<figure>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/exploringthebible.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/how_to_handle_conflict_according_to_jesus_teaching_584d14.webp\" alt=\"Peacemaking in a loving and gracious manner\"><br \/>\n    <\/figure>\n<h2>Conflict Resolution in Practice<\/h2>\n<p>    In the following video, we can see an example of how these principles are applied in practice. The individuals involved in the conflict focus on glorifying God, getting the log out of their own eye, approaching each other with grace and humility, and working together to resolve their differences.<\/p>\n<figure>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/exploringthebible.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/how_to_handle_conflict_according_to_jesus_teaching_58f350.webp\" alt=\"Example of peacemaking in practice\"><br \/>\n    <\/figure>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>    Jesus&#8217; teachings on handling conflict provide us with practical guidance for resolving disputes in a manner that honors God and promotes peace. By focusing on glorifying God, getting the log out of our own eye, approaching others with grace and humility, and extending forgiveness, we can navigate conflicts with wisdom and love.<\/p>\n<figure>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/exploringthebible.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/how_to_handle_conflict_according_to_jesus_teaching_a99df0.webp\" alt=\"Forgiving as Jesus forgives\"><br \/>\n    <\/figure>\n<h2>Lesson Summary<\/h2>\n<p>    &#8211; Glorify God in all situations, including conflicts<br \/>\n    &#8211; Acknowledge our part in the conflict and confess our wrongdoings<br \/>\n    &#8211; Approach others with grace and humility, speaking the truth in love<br \/>\n    &#8211; Extend forgiveness as we have been forgiven by God<\/p>\n<figure>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/exploringthebible.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/how_to_handle_conflict_according_to_jesus_teaching_ba256c-1.webp\" alt=\"The power of forgiveness\"><br \/>\n    <\/figure>\n<h2>Recommended Resources<\/h2>\n<p>    &#8211; [V\u00cdDEO: Applying Biblical Principles To Resolve Conflict | Ken Sande | Kirk Cameron on TBN](https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=&#8230;)<br \/>\n    &#8211; [V\u00cdDEO: Biblical Ways To Resolve Conflicts](https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=&#8230;)<\/p>\n<figure>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/exploringthebible.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/how_to_handle_conflict_according_to_jesus_teaching_d86c29.webp\" alt=\"Biblical resources for conflict resolution\"><br \/>\n    <\/figure>\n<p><\/body><\/p>\n<p><\/html><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>V\u00eddeos Recomendados<\/h3>\n<div class=\"video-grid\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JJ3Ae_UqZN8\"><\/iframe><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/orCTeXat2KQ\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Handle Conflict According to Jesus&#8217; Teaching Handle Conflict According to Jesus&#8217; Teaching Introduction In this article, we will explore Jesus&#8217; teachings on handling conflicts according to the Bible.
