It is Possible
The apostle Paul writes,
“If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” Romans 12:18.
Never have these words meant so much as today. There is a lot of unrest in our world today. Hatred and violence it seems dominate the news. We even hear those espousing to be Christians proclaiming hate. This should not be so.
The key I believe to living at peace with those around us whether we agree with them or not it the love of Christ. Unconditional love.
The apostle Paul defines love this way,
“Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails....
And now these three remain:
faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.”
1 Corinthians 13:4-8a,13.
If we as believers in Christ Jesus put the Love of God into practice into our daily lives, then it is possible for us to live at peace with those around us.
So the question becomes; Are you showing the love of Christ to those around you?
Please think about it.
