Luke 12:51-53
51 Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. 52 For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three. 53 Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
When people come to Christ, often their families do not all do so, causing division. The peace Jesus brought is not a world where everyone gets along, but peace between individuals and the God they are reconciled with; then some peace with others who have been also made new in Christ (there is a unity among true believers, but it is not perfect). So we find peace with God.
