From the beginning of creation, God has been a great divider, separating light from darkness and humanity from Himself. However, through the death of His Son, reconciliation with God is possible. Jesus Christ divides all history and humanity, separating those who believe in Him from those who do not, and ultimately, those who will receive eternal life from those who will face punishment.

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. The Great Divider. Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, nay, but rather division. Luke 12, 51.
From the very beginning, God has been a great divider. On the first day of creation, God divided the light from the darkness. On the second day, He divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. Genesis 1, 4 and 7. When God first created humans, they walked together in sweet fellowship.
But then they sinned and made a great division between humans and God. Nevertheless, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son. Romans 5:10. The price has been paid for full reconciliation with our Creator. But men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
So Christ himself is now the one who divides. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life, and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. John 3:36. Jesus Christ divides all history and all chronology. Things either happened before Christ, BC, or in the year of our Lord, AD.
People are either under the Old Covenant or the New Covenant. Most of all, he divides humanity. There was a division among the people because of him. These divisions, because of him, can cut very deep. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father, the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother.
Luke 12, 53. Finally, when he comes to judge all nations, he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into life eternal. The division is life or death, light or darkness, heaven or hell, Christ or Antichrist, and the choice is ours.
