We Serve the God of Peace God is often called the God of Peace Romans 15:33 -- T he God of peace be with you all. Amen. Romans 16:20 -- The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Philippians 4:9 -- Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me— put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Jesus Is the Lord and Prince of Peace 2 Thessalonians 3:16 -- Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. Isaiah 9:6 -- For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Peace Romans 8:6 -- The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace. Galatians 5:22 -- But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,….

The Gospel is the Gospel of Peace Ephesians 2:17 -- He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. Ephesians 6:15 -- and with your feet fitted with the your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. the gospel of peace.

God’s Kingdom is the Kingdom of Peace Romans 14: For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.

Making Peace is a Lifestyle Decision Luke 1:79 …to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace." Romans 12:18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. James 3:18 -- Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.

Spiritual War and Peace John 16:33 -- I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." Jesus overcame so that we can have peace. Jesus left His peace with us. He intends that we will live lives of peacefulness.

Jesus Came to Bring A Sword Matthew 10:34 -- "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. But what is it for?But what is it for?

Our War Against Satan As we defeat Satan, we gain peace. Satan breeds chaos, turmoil and confusion. God brings peace out of chaos.

1 Corinthians 14:33 – For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. 1 Peter 3: For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech. He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.

How Much Do We Want Peace? “One of the most persistent ambiguities that we face is that everybody talks about peace as a goal. However, it does not take sharpest-eyed sophistication to discern that while everybody talks about peace, peace has become practically nobody’s business among the power-wielders. Many men cry Peace! Peace! but they refuse to do the things that make for peace.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

Will we talk peace? Or will we make peace and live in peace? Real Christians are Peaceful!
