Situations do arise when God wants to use the conflict confronting Christians to help those who have misgivings about Him to understand His interest, have better solution and develop a better approach to the prevailing situation (Phil. 2:2-4). Therefore, let us emulate Jesus Christ and practise the law of sacrifice. By this, others will see the light of Christ in us.

SUMMARY
Jesus has revealed to us that offences, though undesirable, will certainly come. He gives us a dispute resolution model or frame work to resolve disputes as they occur among believers. He urged forgiveness and reconciliation. Paul, too, instructed that disputes among believers should be settled within and some wrongs should be endured rather than engage in civil litigation against fellow brethren. Believers should avoid going to court against each other. They should submit themselves to the wisdom of the leadership of the church in handling disputes that they cannot handle personally. However, where a non-Christian is involved, litigation may be option, but that must be the last option. It is advised that even where recourse is made to litigation, alternative disputes resolution techniques should first be explored.
