More than three million people gathered in Paris and around France for a peaceful march to stand in opposition to terrorism and to show world unity. This march comes after the horrific terrorist attack on the satirical publication Charlie Hebdo magazine last week in Paris that left twelve people dead.* Sadly, Paris also saw more terrorism later in the week when four hostages as well as a police officer were killed. We are saddened by these tragic attacks and our hearts go out to the family and friends of those who have been killed.

While we certainly understand the world wanting unity at such a troubling time, the sad reality is that there won’t ever be true unity in a sin-cursed world. You see, Scripture says that “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9) and Genesis tells us that man’s heart is wicked from childhood (Genesis 8:21). Sadly, “an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil” (Luke 6:45). Without the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit at salvation, we will only continue to produce evil.

We also must remember that we are in a spiritual battle, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” A spiritual battle can’t be fought with human weapons, only spiritual ones (Ephesians 6:13; 2 Corinthians 10:3–5). Sadly, while the world wants unity, they are starting from the wrong foundation in trying to achieve it. True unity can only be found in Christ.
