Is there anyway we can heal this divide?
I'm afraid to say this: no. There isn't any policy change or political movement that can change this. The kingdoms of this world, the governments, are inherently broken and Satan controls them in varying degrees (Revelation 13). The people of this world are also broken and some are blinded by the god of the age, who is Satan (2 Corinthians 4:4).
Not to mention, that politics is based on power over others (Matthew 20:25-28). It also based on divisiveness, such as dissension and factions, which is the fruit of our flesh (Galatians 5:20).
But there is hope but it doesn't come from us. It only come from Jesus Christ. Jesus has already paved for unity for us.
His death on the cross tore down the wall between Jews and Gentiles (people of non-Jewish origin). See Ephesians 2 from Scripture on how Jesus did this. The significance of his death speaks volume. It not only tore down the wall between each other but also the division between us and God (Matthew 27:51). Why did Jesus do this. It's because He loved us. Think of the radical implications here.
So how can we practically show Jesus's love for humanity towards each other. First, we must be followers of King Jesus. He will gives us His Spirit, so that we act radically different than this world (John 14:26, Romans 8:9-11, Galatians 5:16).
The Spirit of Christ (also known as The Holy Spirit or the Spirit of God) will gives us the power to love each other to be peaceful, patient, and kindness to one another (Galatians 5:22).
You have may seen the Coexist bumper stickers. I can't judge someone's motive for putting this on their vehicle. But if you are truly looking for the ultimate coexistence, it can only found in the Lord Jesus Christ. His kingdom is about love, justice, and truth. You will find the ultimate Coexist in His Kingdom.
This isn't some airy-fairy stuff. Following Jesus and implementing His love might spare us from societal collapse or nuclear Armageddon. In other words, if we love each other like Jesus did for humanity, we can ensure the survival of our species and this planet.
But what I saying is this: we can't heal this deep divide on our own; we can only be healed by King Jesus's love and power.
Let me leave you with the words from Jesus Christ:
"With man, this is impossible, but with God all things are possible,"
