Peace

Bible Study by Martin G. Collins

True, heartfelt peace is not merely the absence of conflict, but a positive, proactive yielding to God and goodwill toward all. God has called His saints to peace, expecting them to keep His commandments, and in return, He grants peace of mind. When a man's ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. Peace leads to more peace, washing away strife and fear as a river sweeps away debris. Righteousness and peace are deeply connected, as righteousness produces peace with its qualities of quietness and assurance. At the same time, peace provides the proper environment for righteousness to grow, with one building upon the other. A home without peace hinders the development of righteousness, underscoring their interdependence. Peace requires conscious effort on our part, as it must be sought and pursued through overcoming while asking God to grant it. Although it is a gift from God through Jesus Christ, making peace takes real work and is not merely the elimination of discord. Ultimately, Jesus Christ Himself will bring peace to all mankind.
