The End of War: From Barbarianism to Christendom

"Through the message of the cross, bloodthirsty warriors were remade into saints, and their warring tribes were transformed into the foundation of the greatest civilisation the world has known."

The devastation wrought by war is undeniable. As we witness daily, the violence and suffering caused by never-ending conflict continue to dominate our news feeds and scar humanity. Yet, in the face of this relentless turmoil, there lies an opportunity for transformation: a power that has historically proven capable of turning the tide in even the darkest of times. That power is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Christianity has long been a force of profound national change, particularly in the history of Europe. Centuries ago, the barbarian tribes of Europe were known for their fierceness, violence, and ignorance. These were people whose ways were shaped by war and bloodshed.

Yet, when the Gospel reached their lands, it began a radical transformation. The seeds of faith, learning, and mercy were sown, and slowly, the hearts of these once-violent tribes were tamed. Through the message of the cross, bloodthirsty warriors were remade into saints, and their warring tribes were transformed into the foundation of the greatest civilisation the world has known.

What emerged was a society marked by holiness, charity, and culture. The Gospel did not merely offer moral guidance; it became the foundation upon which an entire civilisation was built—one that prized faith, knowledge, civility, and compassion.

As Isaiah prophesied, through the Gospel, the Franks, Goths, Huns, Anglo-Saxons, Celts, Vikings, and other barbarian tribes fulfilled the vision of turning “their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks” (Isa. 2:4).

This historical transformation is a testament to the power of Christ to not only change individual lives but to reshape entire societies. It proves that through the Gospel, even the wildest hearts can be softened, and broken nations can be healed.

In a world still scarred by violence and conflict, the lessons of history are clear. If we hope to rebuild, to heal, and to create a world marked by peace, the Gospel must have its rightful place. It is the only power capable of transforming hearts and forging a truly just and merciful society.

Now, more than ever, it is time for humanity to allow the influence of the Gospel to shape our future. Through its transformative power, we can move beyond the devastation of war and into a future built on faith, hope, and love.

"Without formally recognising Christianity, accrediting imams today easily becomes accrediting pastors tomorrow. From there, it is a small step to state-sanctioned sermons, state-issued Bibles, state-regulated songs, and state-approved prayers."
