Adopting The Way Of Peace

God says let us reason together.(Isaiah 1:18) The stubborn and defiant world will not reason. (Proverbs 12:28, Romans 6:16, Ephesians 2:2)

Jesus took the death penalty onto Himself and we should likewise bear our own cross. (1Peter 2:24, Luke 14:27) The world threatens death. (1John5:19, John 17:15, 2Corinthians 4:4)

God our Father is spirit and one of the fruits of the spirit is peace. (John 4:24, Galatians 5:22) The world is growing increasingly as against God as is possible. It is of Satan. It is evil. (Revelation 12:12, 2Corinthians 4:4)

The way of peace the world does not know. (Romans 3:17, Isaiah 59:8) This includes the leaders of the major powers.

They do not see that the required battle is spiritual between themselves and Satan. (Ephesians 6:12) When you loose your trust in and obedience to God, Satan gains ground. (Psalm 39:11) As long as we reject God, we will continue to loose our strength, our wealth and our freedom. (Deuteronomy 11:26-28, 30:15-20, Hosea 4:6, Philippians 4:13, James 2:12) God is life. (John 1:4, 6:35, 63, 8:12, 11:25, 14:6) Jesus said I and the Father are one. (John 10:30) God says choose life. (Deuteronomy 30:19)

The only way to long term peace, prosperity and salvation is through Jesus Christ. (John 14:6) In order to gain the help, protection and assurance of Jesus Christ you must accept Him as your Lord and Saviour. (John 3:16) As your Lord you must believe and obey His laws, ordinances and commandments. (1John 2:4, 5:3) As your Saviour you must have faith and trust in Him and dedicate yourself to Him. (2Corinthians 1:9-10, John 5:24, 12:44, 14:1)

To reject Jesus is to reject God. (John 12:48, Luke 10:16) Jesus said fear God who is able to destroy both body and soul. (Matthew 10:28) That means, do not fear the world. (John 16:33)

God promises the Kingdom of God to those who accept His only begotten Son Jesus onto death. (Matthew 10:22) The world is condemned. Condemned by war, disease, famine and the wrath of God. (2Peter 3:7, Matthew 24:22, Romans 1:18, Revelation 16:1)

Matthew 5:9 (GNB)
Happy are those who work for peace; God will call them his children!
