At Peace

 At Peace

The apostle Paul writes,

“If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, 

live at peace with everyone.”

                                                   Romans 12:18.

Do you do your best to live at peace with those around you?

All it takes to live at peace with those around you is to obey these words of Jesus,

Jesus said,

Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’  

This is the first and greatest commandment. 

And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  

All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:37-40.

Jesus also said,

“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 7:12.

If you as a Christian are living by these verses then you have done all you can to live at peace with those around you

Thus the question becomes; Are you obeying these words of Jesus.

Please think about it.

The apostle Paul wrote,

“If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.”  

                                                                                                         Romans 12:18.

It is essential for Christians to do their best to live at peace with all people. The best way for the Gospel of Christ to spread is during a time of peace.

That doesn’t mean compromising our faith. It means presenting our beliefs to people and letting them decide for themselves if what we are saying is correct.

Living at peace with those around us means not protesting against anyone or the government unless they are trying to take our rights to freedom of belief or trying to restrict the rights of other law abiding people.

It comes down to what Jesus said,

"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets" Matthew 7:12.

Are you doing this?

Please think about it.
