This week, we talked about the Fruit of the Spirit, peace, and how because of sin, we see a severe need for peace in our world. We learned that the Bible tells us that through Christ and his sacrifice for sin, we can have peace with God!
Romans 5:1-2
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
But not only do we have peace with God, He also calls us to be peacemakers to those around us.
Romans 12:17-18
17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
Being a peacemaker is hard. It requires compassion for the less fortunate, loving our enemies, patience, and forgiveness.
But if we learn from Christ, we can produce the fruit of peace in our lives!
