Where do you see the need for peace?

The rupture between God and man that came by Adam’s sin brought enmity into the world. Does true, lasting peace not flow from the great peace which Christ’s obedient sacrifice opened the way to restoring?

​

The need for global peace and the end of destructive wars is most evident today. One dominant international conflict relates to the competing claims to the same land from the Muslims and from the Jewish people. Is it not through Christ’s kingdom work at his second coming that all conflict will be settled and the nations will not learn war any more?

​

In our personal relationships, is it not the practice of the mind of Christ that is essential for peace? Peace is a fruit of the Spirit that makes no provision for the works of the flesh.

May this issue help us to be found at peace when the Lord comes.
