The key to changing the way we deal with conflict is the gospel, the good news that God made peace with us and between us by sending His Son to die for our sins and give us new life through His resurrection (Col 1:19-20); Eph 2:14-16). When we believe in Jesus, we receive forgiveness and are united with Christ and one another (Acts 10:43; Phil 2:1-2). God then begins to transform us into the likeness of His Son, enabling us to break free from sinful escaping and attacking habits and mature into peacemakers who reflect the glory of God's reconciling love in the midst of conflict (2 Cor. 3:17-18; Col 3:12-15).
